Dear G. C. Kaleido,


Luther did indeed play the lute and some chorals from the core repertoire of 
the protestant church are ascribed to him, but if you ever come upon any 
mentioning of a lute book from his hands, be sure that it's a fraud.

I do not know about any collected edition of intavolations of chorals ascribed 
to Martin Luther (the chorals, not the tabs!), but it is quite possible that 
there is at least on ore the other. 

Best,

Joachim

   Dear list,
   Martin Luther allegedly played the lute. He is also the purported
   composer of a number of protestant psalms.
   Has there been any research work on Luther's possible ouvre, or an
   attempt to collect his psalms in tablature or otherwise (from different
   lutebooks / manuscript sources)?
   Is there any mention of "a Luther lute book"?
   B.R.
