Hello, David,

Yes, I use the same system.  The Boston Public Library and the university
library down the street have machines that make digital copies from
microfilm. When I check about 5 years ago, such machines costs about $7000,
much too expensive for home use. I wonder when there will be a machine at a
price that will make them attractive to private persons.

Enjoyed your account of Gorzanis in the current Nostalgia of the Japanese Lute and Early Guitar Society. Mus Ms 1511a (the so-called well-tempered lute book) was probably copied in Munich, since the paper is from a local mill. The dedicatee Ulrich Herwarth is a cousin to the Hans Heinrich Herwarth whose vast musical library serves as a foundation for the music collection at the Bavarian State Library.

When the Gorzanis books of Napolitane are published, would you let us all know about how we may order copies.

Arthur.

What kind of scanner do you have for microfilms, David? Brand name?

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I don't have a machine, I have a library card
in stead. Much cheaper, and I don't have to service the machine. ;-)
