Dear Bill, There are facsimiles of the Ulm manuscripts of mandore music published by Cornetto Verlag. The quality is not at all good, but it's better than nothing.
There is an article about the Skene manuscript by Donald Gill in _The Lute_. I can't remember which year off hand, but it was about 1988. Rob MacKillop's mandore was made by Peter Forrester. The size was deduced from that painting. Apparently people who know about playing cards have identified the playing cards in the painting, from which it is possible to calculate the size of the mandore. It is tiny. All the best, Stewart McCoy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "bill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Lautenliste" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 10:29 AM Subject: Re: mandour > would anyone be able to tell me where i could find information > concerning the mandour, particularly info. with photos? it seems to be > a popular name in the middle east and most of what comes up from the > search engine reflects that. > > any help would be appreciated. > > thank you - bill
