AHA. hence Monteverdi's 'Selva Morale e Spirituale'. i'd always thought
'moral and spiritual forest', and it never occured to me that 'selva'
could also mean 'collection'.
thanks!

Ich nehme an, dass es "Selva amarosa" heiÃen soll. (Der Buchstaben

Dear lute netters,
in Nobilita di Dame there is (page 361) a piece called "Selua
Amorosa" (a concordance for Allemande Fortune helas...)
Does anybody know what the title means?
