Vance, The text appears to be in the Fraktur format (thanks Matt, now I get to sound educated). The notes are unusual, I'd go through them but it is time for bed. But the five or six note run up and down the partial scale isn't anything I've seen, particularly as it seems one word is held through

Dear Stewart, I must have missed the earlier message. I would second Stewart's recommendation. Daniel Heartz is a brilliant musicologist and always has crunchy thing to say about the music he studies. He also authored an important bibliography of the music published by Pierre Attaiingnant.

Caroline, You're right, of course. One might still wonder what the delineation is, though. Note that most civilized countries are colored in. But Ireland, Sweden, Norway and Sicily are not. And would that be Iceland on the red Arctic Circle? It is colored in. This is only a broad guess so

Sean: That sounds believable and probably closer to the truth than my explanation. That being said the issue still remains true, in some degree or another the demise of the Lute was in part to the increasing influence of the Protestant religions who viewed the Lute as a vanity. That too is odd
