Ach, dear old Pierre Phalese. We'll always wonder about the back
story. As anthologies go, they're a wonderful pool to draw from. When
we see the other books he pulled from and what he thought would be
worthy of further desemination, upgrading and elimination he starts to
show us much more of popularity trends.
I have sooo many questions for him when I get my time machine!

Thanks, Tom and Mark. Forgive the off-topic nature of this but we
actually saw the credit to Herbert Hughes many years ago, and
understand that Hughes was a collector and assembler of anthologies
who
was rather aggressive about taking credit for whatever he could. In
the US folk music realm, we have something of an equivalent in AP
Carter, who collected and copyrighted, and recorded a massive
number of
folk songs.
Veering back to topic, I suppose we have historical 'anthologizers'
in
the lute realm as well, Phalese, Besard, Mertel to name a few. I
wonder if the staff lutenist-arranger who did all the work for
Phalese
would object that the publisher got all the credit for his work?
