Ole Sterling, I can't remember having seen a translation. I put the 4 pages (660 kB) here [1]http://www.lute-academy.be/docstore/temp/narvaez.pdf just in case someone wants to prepare a christmas gift for us by translating it :-) The whole delfinarium is online: * Luys de Narvaez + [2]Los seis libros del Delphin de musica de cifras para taner Vihuela., Valladolid, 1538[1] + [3]Los seis libros del Delphin de musica de cifras para taner Vihuela., Valladolid, 1538[1] (another source)

Yes, I know it is hard to believe but I recently got a nice renaissance lute and I am exploring the six course music for the first time. I can't believe how much fun it is. And yes I know Narvaez is for viheula...
