All good stuff explaining the paucity of many such intabulations at the
time. But, in fact, there are some late sixteenth century MS sources
which do preserve such latin intabulations - even outside Spain and
even of English composers (eg Phillips).
In particular, the largest single
Interesting question - I think that part of the reason at least is that
after the reformation i.e from about 1540 very little Latin church music
