Robert,

This book in English was published in a French series, so you may be able
easily to find it in a local library.

There is a modern edition of "La Magdalena" and after dances with tablature
(by Pierre Blondeau from Dixhuit basses dances) is available in one of the
"classic" editions of lute music,

Attaingnant, Paris, 1529-1530 ; edited by Daniel Heartz

IMPRINT Neuilly-sur-Seine : Societe de musique d'autrefois, 1964.

and of Dixhuit basses dances (1529). Also includes facsimile reproduction

The above contains all the instrujental works (incl.pieces for  lute and
flute) in the cited Attaingnant prints.  The pieces for voice and lute from
Tres breve were published in Lionel de Laurencie et al., Chansons au luth
(1934).  Heartz's is a fascinating edition, especially in its "analytical"
layout.
