Assunto: [LUTE] Re: antiqua (guatemala) vihuela manuscript
Not sure if this message went to the Lutelist as well as the vihuela
list..........
I have what appears to be a study of this manuscript in Spanish which
someone - I think an Internet friend in Spain - sent me some time ago.
I
have never got around to reading it but a quick look now suggests that
it is
about the 5-course guitar - including setting out the chords according
to
Amat's system. And why not? The vihuela deosn't have to be a vihuela.
I could if anyone wants to look at it try posting it on my ning
page.....................
I have spent a bit more time looking at it and it appears to be
someone's doctoral dissertation. The first part is about the vihuela
and guitar in general. The second is a transcript of the manuscript.
It is definitely about the 5-course guitar and some of it looks as if
it might have been adapted from Minguet y Irol....or from whatever
Minguet adopted his book from.
