There is such a publication, but - without having seen it myself - I think it's probably archlute/liuto attiorbato music, rather than theorbo. This is what it says on the Society's website: Selections from Piccinini and Kapsberger for Solo Renaissance Lute

[LUTE] One marking in Saizenay ms, theorbo tab?

Scarborough Faire, and it's variants, being popular ballads that no doubt evolved over time, probably couldn't be considered lute tunes (somehow I think of lute music as being music written specifically for lute), though lutenists no doubt played popular ballads on lute when it suited them (or

A big thanks to everyone who responded! I think I'll try the guitar one that was posted, and also see if I can buy 19 English Folk Songs as soon at it is available. Thank you again! I've been playing the lute for a month and a half so far, so I am still new to all of this.
