"L'Art de diminuer" by Philippe Matharel, sort of a compendium of
Renaissance treatises on the subject, is quite helpful also. You can
download it here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/35549954/l-Art-de-Diminuer-Opt ,
or I can send you a pdf if you like.

Thank you Arthur. I had forgotten all about Ganassi. I attended
evening classes in ensemble playing run by Tony Rooley in the early
'70s and he used examples of divisions from Ganassi to encourage us to
improvise around ground basses.
That's very helpful!

This might provide assistance, although for recorder. It deals with
diminutions and ornamentation. Link to a dighital copy:
