I'm familar with the ms, Richard. The first piece in your collection is also in Panmure 5. I recorded it in February with the Parisian-based gamba player, Jonathan Dunford. It will be released in July, 2010. I arranged it for viol and baroque guitar. It has long been one of my favourite pieces. Nice to see it arranged for lute.
Do you have a date for the Manchester ms? No-one has yet come up with a date when asked. I imagine 1640s... Cheers, Rob MacKillop -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
