Dear Stuart When I replied to your mail this morning (here in France, you were hopefully asleep at the time ;) I forgot one important link which may be of interest for you : http://fughetta-library.blogspot.com/ It gives lots of treatises on counterpoint and harmony etc; and they can be downloaded as pdf files. Very useful indeed and quite a few of these documents deal with renaissance or baroque couterpoint. Have a look at it !
