Dear Luca and All, Munich Ms. 266 is indeed a very important manuscript. For those who are interested in it, it's worth knowing that the music it contains is not all in the form of complete and ready to play settings. A number of the works by Marco Dall'Aquila are incomplete and require reconstruction to make them intelligible to play. Also many pieces in the manuscript are unattributed, which means that a degree of stylistic detective work is needed to determine those likely to be by Dall'Aquila. For the benefit of those who don't want to devote time to their own reconstructions the works of Marco Dall'Aquila are being serialised in the Lute Society's 'Lute News' tablature supplements (edited by myself and John Robinson)and are readily available from the Lute Society. The series is nearing completion now and is intended to make tablature only versions of Marco's music available pending the publication of the anticipated definitive edition of Dall 'Aquila's works by Arthur Ness.
