Hello Andreas: I have the Minkoff facsimile as well, which is the source for the adaptation I posted. As Martin pointed out, there are many mistakes in the tablatures and the engraved typeface is a little tricky to read. That said, there is some wonderful music in this book. The Minkoff reprint is probably still available and is highly recommended. Julia Sutton published an inventory and survey of the music in 'The Music of J. B. Besard's "Novus Partus", 1617', Journal of the American Musicological Society, Vol. 19, No. 2 (Summer, 1966), pp. 182-204.
