The two-volume collected edition of vocal music by van Wilder edited by Jane Bernstein and publ. by Broude Bros would cost about $US214, or about $107 per volume.
There is a chapter on Van Wilder in Ward's Music for Elizabethan Lutes with a list of sources for his lute music, mostly arrangements of his vocal music. Ward also prints that portrait by Han Holbein, the yonger, which is thought to represent van Wilder. To fill out Ward' account of Wilder, one needs also to read Ward's article on Wilder in New Grove.
