I've started an database of online facsimile sources of lute and closely related books, drawing heavily on links posted to this list and the French list over the last few months.
http://creator.zoho.com/peterskeeter/ Actually there are two databases: 1) Online sources of lute and early music<http://creator.zoho.com/peterskeeter/online-sources-of-lute-and-early-music/>, i.e. websites 2) Lute and early music books<http://creator.zoho.com/peterskeeter/lute-and-early-music-books/>, linking directly to individual books on these sites (Spinacino, Barley, Blow ..) The good thing about these databases, if I've set them up correctly, is that anyone can add to them. So if you know of other online gems out there, please add them to the list!
