Dear all, I am proud to announce that I heard from John H. Robinson today that he has arranged for the Houghton Library at Harvard to make a digital copy of the complete Otley Cittern Book [US-CAh Mus.181] and for them to post it on-line on their website for all to see. The manuscript can be seen by visiting the following link: [1]http://pds.lib.harvard.edu/pds/view/22398305 He is working on an introduction to the MS, which might be posted later(?). A full inventory can be found in John Ward's 'Sprightly and Cheerful Musick: Notes on the cittern, gittern, and guitar in 16th- and 17th-century England' Lute Society Journal XXI (1979-81), pp. 142-158. Please feel free to share this message with others. And - enjoy! AMH --
