Hi Robert, there are some manuscripts from the abbey of Gruessau, that include more or less works by Weiss (old numbers: W2002 - now Wroclaw, 2003/2004/2005 /(2006)/2008/2009/2010). The pieces sometimes have variants from other versions, but doesn�t seem to be less authentic than the versions from London or Dresden. Possibly there is a connection of Weiss to the family Schaffgottsch, that seem to have something to do with these mss. The manuscript that Richard Civiol has transcribed is one of these mss: W2005.
In fact in my eyes it is very difficult to speak of "the Dresden ms", because it is a collection of different copies. Some are autographs, but the other suonatas are of very different quality, some of the writers have made quite many mistakes. London seems to be a collection that has been established consequently over many years - under the eyes of the composer.
