The World Catalogue is useful for searches such as this one. I found this

I didn't look for the other items. There may be TWO volumes on line for La

Thanks. These look very interesting. Do you have any info on
sources for these sources? Are they available as facsimiles, or
doe one have to track them down at a library?

There are also non-English sources which this discussion brings to
mind. Here are a few:
Delaborde's Essai sur la musique ancienne et moderne (1780) includes
melodies which are supposedly from Scandinavia, plus Air Irelandois,
Airs des Sauvages du Canada, Airs Chinois, Air de danse Russe, Danse
Grecque, among others.
Mattheson (re)prints (in 1740) a report about "netherworldly music" in
Norway from a town musician named Heinrich Meyer. The concert was said
to have happened in 1695, and may refer to a hardanger fiddle.
Mattheson also printed the melody.
Amadee Francois Frezier collected some melodies from his coastal
voyage of South America. He published a "Sapateo" as part of his
"Relation du voyage de la mer du sud" (1716). He reported it was as
popular as the Menuet in France. Stevenson has transcribed the piece
(1960).
