Just take it to a print shop, they make cheap colour laser copies
nowadays. Use thick quality paper and let them bind it - voilá

Full color ricercars, some of the finest motet settings on the planet,
14th century chansons, giraffes, hippogriffs, peacocks, cheetahs,
monkeys, monkey riding cheetah!, bunnies, lions, unicorns AND the family
dog? What's not to like?
Most enchanted evenings with lute do not involve firing up the computer;
this book trebly so. It's definitely worth an ink cartridge or three,
Denys.
thanks for the good news, Leonard!

Dear Leonard,
That's very good news! Thanks for forwarding this. They must surely have
made colour photos of the manuscript - so we may at last be able to
see it all in its full glory and find out how much of a part colour plays
in the notation.
The downside is that we probably will never now see a colour facsimile,
and
It would have been really nice to have seen it done to the same standard
as
the Verlag Pesaro copy. I wonder how many of us devote the time and
ink cartridges to printing out PDF copies of lute books and creating full
hard copies? In my case it's none! That's one of the reasons why the Lute
Society has elected to print colour facsimilies of the English
manuscripts
like Dd.2.11 - viewing an on screen image is never quite the same as
holding
a reproduction of the original in your hands. Fortunately we can keep the
cost
down by not charging for any of the work apart from the things we can't
do
ourselves - mainly printing and postage. There would surely be scope for
the lute societies around the world to work with libraries and museums to
get more lute books in print. But perhaps those of us that like books
are out of sync with the rest of the world, and in future everyone will
want to play from their ipads?
Best wishes,
Denys

Subject: [LUTE] Capirola
I recently wrote to the Newberry Library in Chicago, inquiring
about
the possibility of their producing a full color Capirola facsimile at any
time. Here's the answer (though there is some uncertainty about the
color
aspect):
Dear Mr. Williams,
As it happens, the entire Capirola manuscript is going to be reproduced
on the "Ricercar" site maintained by the Centre d'Etudes Superieures de
la Renaissance, in Tours, France. Here's the URL for the section of
their site that is dedicated to lute manuscripts and publications:
http://ricercar.cesr.univ-tours.fr/3-programmes/EMN/luth/
The Capirola, as you will see, is not there yet. The photography has
been done, however. I'm not sure what their time-table is, for mounting
the Capirola. If you're curious to know, you could write to them
directly.
As you point out, it would be very expensive to produce a full color
facsimile. To do that we would need a major subvention.
Sincerely yours,
Carla Zecher
Director
Center for Renaissance Studies
The Newberry Library
Regards,
Leonard Williams
