Hi, perhaps a more interesting book is delair's treatise of 1690:
accompaniment on theorbo and harpsichord. I have a pdf of the english

several mistakes.

Dear Shaun,
I was just looking for these as well. As far as I know there are no
translations, but Bartolomi, Fleury and Grenerin are more or less
understandable from their music examples alone (helped by a very basic
knowledge of French).
Are you looking for Campion's 1716 treatise (in which he talks about
harmony and accompaniment in general) or the "Addition au traite
d'accompaniment" from 1730 (which is much larger, and contains more
specific info about theorbo, lute and guitar)? If the latter, there is
an article by Kevin Mason: Franc,ois Campions Secret of Accompaniment
for the Theorbo, Guitar and Lute. This is in Journal of LSA, Vol XIV
(1981). Mason sums up Campion's main points.
You can find a modern edition of Grenerin here:

I think there might be some mistakes in it, but I haven't been able to
get hold of the facsimile to check it. In LSA Journal Vol XIX (1986)
you can find a review of the facsimile edition, again by Kevin Mason,
which contains some interesting information.
Good luck, and let me know if you find anything else!
Sam

Dear All,
Does anyone happen to know if there are English translations of
the
following treatises and if they are available (either original or
translation) online?
Angelo Michele Bartolotti: Table pour apprendre facilement `a
toucher
le theorbe sur la basse-continue (Paris, 1669)
Franc,ois Campion: Traite d'accompagnement et de composition selon
la
regle des octaves de musique, op.2 (Paris, 1716/R)
Henry Grenerin: Livre de theorbe contenant plusieurs pieces sur
differents tons, avec une nouvelle methode tres facile pour
apprendre
`a jouer sur la partie les basses continues et toutes sortes dairs
Thanks very much in advance.
Shaun
