One wonders how aware YOU are, you completely ignore a major effort underway several years now by the BM and other holders of printed book sources of prose as well as music. EEBO - Early English Books Online. (see http://eebo.chadwyck.com/home) Patience my friend, it takes funds to do this work, but it is happening for music and other information (eg, fines, calendars, other records of the UK are being translated, keyworded, and made available online in searchable form). -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
