There is such divergent policy when it comes to lute manuscripts
nowadays. One has only to look at
[1]Facsimile-Links
to see how the different libraries measure out their generosity. And
how easily accessible they make their manuscripts. (Easy full PDF
download at a click, or hard, one page at the time, and sometimes not
even that).
The huge ones in Germany, England, France and Spain are incredibly
professional and generous,
while the smaller ones, (sometimes also holding very interesting
manuscripts) are more restrictive and perhaps ask a fee.
The Fitzwilliam asking 25 ⬠for a copy of Cherbury, puts them on the
top end, (as if they were offering an edited modern paper edition) and
the Czech National Library, f. ex. don't even answer any mail
inquieries.
