 Beautiful, Mathias!

Thank you!

 You play by your new 12 course lute?

Yes. I have it in Mace's tuning / pitch: g' - e' - c' - a - e - B -
AGFEDC

 Also I happened to play to the tube those first 3 pieces by my old 
 10-courser just a month ago:

Nice! Hadn't seen it, now you're on my abonnement list. I like your
relaxed tempi.

Best wishes,

Mathias

  Dear everybody,
 
  playing through the Gehema lute book, I've found what surprisingly
  beautiful music it contains. I've made some recordings (way not as
  impeccable as the music itself), available here:

  Very nice playing, Mathias. I just listened to them all. I used to have 
  a Baroque lute but I've never heard of the Gehema lute book.
  
  Berlin 40264. There used to be a facsimile edition by the

  Mid 17th century?
  
  1650-60, IOW some 15 years after the music was composed, according to
  François-Pierre Goy's thesis. According to the editor of the facsimile,
  Otremba, Virginia Gehema with her husband, Abraham, lived on their manor
  near Lesniów Maly and Lesniów Wielki, Poland (then West Prussia). Her
  father-in-law was a friend of the German poet Martin Opitz who lived in
  Danzig (Gdansk) and later moved to Thorn (Torun).
  
  Lots of French twiddly things
  
  The courante on fol. 2v is by Merville, the sarabande on fol. 5 is by
  Mesangeau.
  
  but some German titles - bit like Reussner?
  
  That is my impression as well. Silesia is not too far away, and
  obviously people would whistle similar tunes.
