The Danzig 4022 Lute Book has been published in facsimile by TREE EDITION.
DANZIG Lutebook
The DANZIG LUTE BOOK (Danzig [Gdansk] tablature 4022) is a collection of
early
seventeenth century lute music of Gdańsk provenance, now kept in Berlin.
This tablature was
lost during the Second World War. Unexpectedly, after the fall of the
Berlin Wall in 1989 and
the resulting political changes, this manuscript was revealed to be in
the collection of the
Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz in East Berlin. It turned out
that during the war part
of the Gdansk library collection was taken to Moscow, and from there the
whole collection
was transferred to the Berlin Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz
in the 1950’s.
The TREE facsimile edition of the Danzig Lute Book also contains (in
English) an introduction
and an inventory with concordances by Polish – Canadian lutenist
Magdalena Tomsinska.
The manuscript from ca. 1620 contains 222 pieces, mainly dances (Polish,
French, English,
German, Italian, Netherlands, Hungarian and Ruthenian) and arrangements
of popular songs.
Also Magdalena has made an Audio CD recording
PIECES FROM THE GDANSK LUTE TABLATURE 4022
with 32 pieces from that book, available from the recording company in
Poland www.dux.pl
or worldwide from Amazon.

Dear Collective Wisdom: I have grown so accustomed to easy access to catalogues
and concordances in the baroque lute world thanks to Peter Steur’s excellent
website that when I have a Ren Ms to query I feel lost. Specifically, is there
a catalogue of the contents of the Danzig 4022 which I have been reading
through as I enjoy my new 10 course? Lovely music, a couple of recent fine
recordings and many tunes that sound familiar though marked anon. Was even
surprised to find a version of the Piccinini Sarabande I just recently made a
video of.
So generally, is there a Ren lute manuscript resource similar to the Baroque
site and specifically, does such a listing exist for the Danzig 4022
Thanks in advance
Danny
