"la maison de la musique ancienne" doesn't exist anymore, what a pity!
You could order at Minkof directly (in France "la regle d'or", 75 006
Paris 23 rue de Fleurus).

Good luck!

Thank you, Daniel. I was under the mistaken impression that the original was
in German tablature. I don't know where I got that idea. The OMI version is
a bit pricey, but it seems to be the only
option.
