Dear Jerzy, I can't remember if you did ever get a reply from the List about the Castelfranco discovery. I don't know how easy it would be to get hold of, but there was a Festschrift published a few years ago, with information about it all: _Trent' Anni di Ricerche Musicologiche - Studi in onore di F. Alberto Gallo_ edited by Patrizia Dalla Vecchia and Donatella Restani (Rome: Edizioni Torre d'Orfeo, 1996). One of the articles is by Franco Rossi, "Pacolini da Borgotaro _versus_ Pacalone da Padova. Francesco da Milano nell' Antologia Manoscritta di Castelfranco Veneto." The article is in Italian. Rossi provides a list of contents of the manuscript, and the music (transcribed into staff notation) of a lute duet by Francesco da Milano.
Best wishes, Stewart. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerzy ZAK" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 5:14 PM Subject: Recent discoveries (Facsimeles etc.) > Dear Matanya, > > I feel a little uncomfortable sending my question to the List - and > that way obviously to you as well - again.
