Right Rainer! Could generosi also mean "generous"? A generous
rosicrucian? (Of an outstanding Dowland Fantasia?)
I have two related questions:
In New Grove's entry on Rosseter:
"In a lawsuit concerning Dowland's Second Booke of Songs in 1601 he
gave his age as 33." Anyone knows about this lawsuit? Was it
concerning Barley's publication?
In Mylius "Grammatica" translates as chromatic. There is another
Grammatica in there by Montbuisson. Haven't played it - but I gather it
is therefore another chromatic piece I can add to my list?

In Mylius the piece appears as
"Grammatica Rosideri Angli generosi"
According to the LS edition this translates as
"Chromatic piece by the English Gentleman Rosseter"
This is somewhat far-fetched. Why should Rosiderus be Rosseter?
There might be a connection to the Rosicrucian movement - which is
somewhat far-fetched, too :)
