Probably not - it was just reprinted over and over again without any attempt
to correct errors in the original edition or to up date it. By the time
the latest editions were printed the 5-course guitar was going out of use.

Very many thanks. It is what I suspected. But it does raise the question
whether anybody was using it?
Best wishes, Peter

Never! it is included in the earliest surviving edition of 1626 and was

It is also included in the plagiarized edition edited by Andres Sotos
printed in 1764 in Madrid.

Could someone more knowledgeable than myself tell me when, if ever,
reprints of Amat's 'Guitarra Espanola...' dropped the section for the 4
course guitar? Please?
