Thank you Valery - I have it now.  And thank you for bringing it to our
   attention.

   A few quick observations:

   The tablature is for guitar or mandora (a 6th course is required on the
   earlier folios).
   Folio 48r shows the tuning with a 6th course (at nominal G ie a tone
   below the 5th
   course) so this certainly looks like mandora music. The intervals
   between the highest
   five courses is identical on both instruments and most of the pieces
   could be played
   on the 5 course guitar too. Incidentally there are other 5 course
   mandora sources.
   Fol 69v (their numbering 72v) also has a piece for a Mandora 1 and a
   Mandora 2 .

   In this context the heading on fol. 48v is very interesting 'Accordo
   Chytarra A Mandora'
   - whatever this meant to the scribe.  This page also contains added
   numbers under
   the basses - as if it were for an archmandora or archguitar. The hand
   of these numbers
   looks to me not  the same as the main scribe and I suspect may have
   been
   entered later as the manuscript owner tried to adapt the music to a
   theorboed
   instrument recently acquired. Whatever the reason, they soon tired of
   the idea - after
   a mere three lines in fact..........

   Interestingly one tuning on fol 6 is given as for the 'Calledono' which
   I presume refers to
   the gallichon thus once again showing an interchange in usage between
   the mandora
    and gallichon - though the tuning given is not one I recognise from
   other sources.

   In my view, the writing looks more like mandora music than for guitar
   and I therefore
   suggest a low bass 5th course with the octave on the high side (ie the
   low bass sounds
   firstand stronger).

   I've not had time to search for concordances - tho' some seem familiar
   ( a bit like
    Deisel's output) but the later staff notation pieces include music
   from Lully's (I think)
   Bellepheron.

         This is an interesting Ms with tabs for Mandora (Galichon ?) and
         baroque guitar (from F. 48r, 6 courses, from 60v for 5 courses)
   Some
         bibliographical informations mention the name of J. A. Losy
   (under
         publication by Jaroslav Pohanka in 1958).
          Is this music by Losy ? Any information is welcome.
         Nice music anyway !
         All the best,
         Valery
         Voici un lien vers une tablature interessante (`a partir du folio
      48r,
         pieces pour un instrument `a 6 choeurs, mandore probablement,
   puis
      `a
         partir du folio 60v, pieces pour instrument `a 5 choeurs.
         Dans la bibliographie il est fait mention de J.A. Losy par
   Jaroslav
         Pohanka (une edition de 1958) mais cette musique est-elle bien de
         Losy ? ou il y est fait reference uniquement dans la
   bibliographie ?
         Quelqu'un aurait une information ? Sinon la musique semble
      agreable...
         Bonne decouverte,
         Valery
