re: lord danby at the sibley library sorry if that link didn't work for anyone. i didn't realize the page it linked to would time-out.
if you'd still like to see the bibliographic record go here http://sibley.lib.rochester.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First then put "lord and danby and lute" in the 'search for' field and choose boolean in the 'search by' field. that search should take you straight to the page. there is a link for purchasing a microfilm copy but unfortunately it goes straight to a order form with no pricing info, etc. i'm trying to poke around and see if i can find how much it costs. --------------- okay, just looked around. apparently the interlibrary loan dept handles microfilm requests here is the page http://www.esm.rochester.edu/sibley/?page=illiad contact info at the bottom: phone # (585)274-1386 (john mahoney, dept head) [EMAIL PROTECTED] i can't seem to find a static list of the lute holdings but if you go to that first link and search "lute music" with "subject heading" in in the 'search by' field. it will also bring up recordings but you can refine the results to get scores and/or manuscripts only. hope that helps. cheers steve gottlieb On 5/17/07, G.
