There is also another, less known book of intabulated frottole by Cara and Tromboncino, published sometime in the 1520's, but I can't cite more from the top of my head. Maybe someone else here has more exact information. Should be listed in Brown's 'Instrumental Music Printed Before 1600', too. Cara was a prominent musical personality at the court of Isabella d'Este in Mantova. A large selection of his frottole was published by William Prizer in his 'Courtly pastimes: The Frottole of Marchetto Cara' (Ann Arbor, 1980). Prizer's article 'Lutenists at the court of Mantua...' in JLSA XIII (1980) is a complimentary reading.
