We have a new edition, a book/cd collection. 

"The Magic Lute"

You can hear some pieces on soundclick, there is a link from the page 
which describes the book

http://www.guitarandlute.com/magic_lute.html

There are pieces by Carolan, who I consider to be the Dowland (though 
he played the harp) of Ireland. He was a prolific drinking 
composer/musician. His pieces are wonderful on the lute, take a 
listen to "Carolan's Farewell to Music." It was the last piece he 
played before he collapsed and died. Also there are pieces from the 
Skene Manuscript with added variations. Music is performed on a lute 
from Jacob Van Lennep. Over 50 minutes of music on the CD and in the 
book.
