I have the book. I had looked through it. Your eye and memory is better than mine. So, pages 96-98. Doug gives the number 1,200 intabulations in the 16th century, which he says is half of the published Italian lute pieces. This number seems low (maybe needs another zero?), especially since further down on the page he says Vincenzo Galilei intabulated 3,000 pieces himself. Galilei was Italian and living in the 16th century, so something is off. I had heard the estimate of half before, but half of what? I can well believe half of Italian lute pieces in the first half of the century. All lute pieces? Renaissance? or just the Italian printed sources? There are very few intabulations in English sources, for example, which is a huge chunk of the Ren repertoire. At least I can repeat half of the published Italian sources were intabulations according to D. Smith.
