Dear all, I'm not sure I've seen references below to the earlier edition of Il Fronimo (I'm sorry I don't know the publ date --my HMBrown resides at the library ;^). It has different musical examples, eg, the Ancor che col partire and its fantasy aren't in the 1584 ed. Are there other contrapunti in it as well as the BM works? This has been very difficult to find!
