Is that by Thurston Dart? I've got a Xerox, but I don't know where it 
came from. He uses piano fingerings in his transcriptions, i.e. the 
thumb is 1, index is 2. It doesn't matter to us though because all 
the tab is there.

My favorite admonition in there is: "It is a disgrace for the lute to 
play country dances, songs or corants of violins, as likewise to play 
tricks with one's lute - to play behind the back, etc."

I've got to stop doing that! :-)
