Or see Bach's 'General bass regeln'. facsimile and English translation. Published in the same series. SImilar content. C.P.E. Bach's 'Versuch' might be a little late, but is excellent, of course. Olms in Germany recently published a two part book with all (?) Italian 1595-1655 continuo sources translated and supplied with examples. But the writer (Irmtraut Freiberg) didn't understand theorbo-tuning. Silly. Good thing Kapsberger is included, though.
