Hi, all. In re: G. C.'s comment, "today's guitar scene has been completely inundated with spanish tab while the lute world seems to favour french tablature." It's a matter of notational history. Historically today's guitar tab has nothing to do with 16th century vihuela tablature. In the 18th and 19th centuries the "serious" guitar community had moved to staff notation. Though there are a few examples from the late nineteenth century, modern guitar tab basically derives from the system devised for Hawaiian slide guitar music around 1915. Best, and keep playing, Chris.

There are two lute pieces in Neapolitan tabulature in the Pesaro manuscript Ms. 1144 but that doesn't answer your question regarding printed sources other than da Milano's 1536 Libro secondo.
