For questions like this, the World Catalogue is a wonderful resource.
Be
sure to limit your search by clicking the appropriate filter in the
left
column. (I left off CDs, for example.) In addition to providing
bibliographical information about books, it also gives the libraries
holding a given item (enter your ZIP code or
country).
In any event, the facsimile Martyn mention is by Forni and edited by
Dinko
Fabris and John Griffiths.
I used subject and keyword for the search (su:Songs with Lute
kw:Bottegari). Here are the "hits" I got:
