Unfortunately I just noticed that in certain cases (cfr. p. 11 of the manuscript, for an example) pages have been scanned without really "pressing" both pages open. In such cases the latest columns near the binding are hidden completely or partially. It's really exciting to have a new manuscript to look into, but if it has been put in public domain I really do not fully understand why we're not able to download it: it's clear that the actual situation is very tempting, but makes the actual performing a bit too difficult (at least for me).

Enlarging my browser window added to it also. Still not great, the text is a little faint, but it might do.

It would be even greater if it could be made available in a readable form that could be played from. I tried using their viewer and I all get is readable fragments. Has anyone else figured out how to use this for a playable version? The sight says the material is in the public domain so there should be no copyright restrictions.

Begin forwarded message: From: John Robinson [5]<[email protected]> Subject: de Bellis lute book now on line! Date: August 23, 2014 at 11:29:01 AM EDT Dear all I contacted the San Francisco State University recently to see if they had considered digitizing the be Bellis lute manuscript [Ms. M2.1 M3 'Ascanio Bentivoglio . 1615' - one of the best late renaissance Italian manuscripts] and was pleased to hear that they planned to put it online in their digital collection - and then received the link yesterday! Not downloadable but looks good in colour - when you have fiddled about enlarging the images! You may have seen that I posted details on the Lute Group in Facebook too. And Chris, can it be included in the 'internet news' paragraph in the next Lute News as I promised Meredith Eliassen Curator of the Frank V. de Bellis Collection that I would spread the news?
