Especially the biography is very interesting! You may consider correcting one point: in the 1916 Worp edition of Huygens letter of letter of May 7, 1660, the title was mistakenly transcribed as sig.orita. http://resources.huygens.knaw.nl/retroboeken/huygens/#page=364&accessor=toc&; source=28&view=imagePane The original letter is in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in Den Haag. It clearly reads sig.or.

My web site - [1]www.monicahall2.wordpress.com now has on it an extended study of Corbetta - the "best of all" in the words of Sanz and in my estimation too. The highlights of this are 1. An extended biography - I have collected together all the information currently known about his life and added a few snippets which I myself have discovered in the process and tried to set it out in coherant chronological order. 2. A parellel translation of the Italian and French prefaces from "La guitarre royale" (1671) with his tablature example set out in a way which should make it possible to compare the two. It also includes translations of the instructions to the player from his four other books with examples and commentary. You will find it by clicking on the heading Corbetta on the home page preceding the edition of his manuscript pieces. It is all free! Not sure that Ron would approve of that after reading his last post but not belonging to the musical establishment or being part of anyone's business model this is the only way I can make my efforts available - not to mention expose them to public scrutiny. Feel free to comment - but I am not likely to update this monumental work any time soon. But a monumental vote of Thanks to Rob who has made it all possible.
