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.

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 (Lien communique par Jean-Franc,ois Delcamp) -- References 1.
