Hello, Monica! These and many other lute and guitar tablatures were returned in 1993 to the Lobkowicz family, from whom they were confiscated by the Nazis, and then the Communists. Some sources say they are stored at the Lobkowicz castle in Nelahozeves (RISM: CZ-Nrlk). But since have been moved to the Lobkowicz Palace in Prague. Availability reportedly seems to be limited. For lute and guitar tablatures in the Czech Republic, see [1]http://baroque-lute.webnode.cz/loutnove-sborniky/ The list is cut off, so read it with "Print Preview" or with Word, or "read view." The Lobkowicz tablatures are those formerly in Prague state libraries with shelf numbers with II XLb, II Kk, II Ka, II La I could find no references to online copies of the two mss you seek, Monica. The LSA Microfilm Library has LXb 209.

I have a not very legible print out of both of them but the pages are unnumbered and it is not clear which manuscript is which or even whether the pages are in the right order. The original manuscripts have a lot of blank pages which may not be included in the pagination.I wondered if anyone has a pdf of either or both of them or even a list of contents with the correct page numbers. I tried checking the libraries web page but as it is all in Czech didn't get very far. Any assistence would be assisted.
