I know it is. When it came out in 2004 I took a deep breath and paid the money, and I am delighted with it. It's a beautiful book. But it is also the most expensive book I have ever bought, by some way....

Don't be so sarcastic. This is a high-quality full color facsimile and also contains (bw) facsimiles of the Kassel Fragment, the "rediscovered" Blindhammer Manuscript (Wertheim) and the Freiburg i.Ue. Fascicle as well as some minor sources. For Pesaro there's also Vladimir Ivanoff ('Das Pesaro-Manuskript ein Beitrag zur Frühgeschichte der Lautentabulatur').
