I fear that you might be rather disappointed with the Minkoff edition (R.I.P.) 
of the manuscript. One can see from the digital version of the Bibliothèque 
Nationale that the red colour used for the right-hand fingerings has faded 
badly and Minkoff tried to rectify this but the result is that the numbers are 
frequently illegible and there are gaps in the tablature lines.

Minkoff seemed to have technical difficulties with printing colour facsimiles. 
Parts of their Milan edition are indeed useless as it was printed in B & W (in 
the original print,  red ink was used to distinguish the voice which was 
written directly into the tablature). The Sociedad de la Vihuela edition is far 
superior.

Best,
Matthew
