Has anyone got a decent digital copy of Corbetta's 1639 book?

His "alfabeto falso" includes a version of Chord N* with the fifth 
course clearly left unfretted but the note on the first course is 
unclear. Most people including Pinnell and Gary Boye have interpreted 
this as being G played at the third fret but the shape of what is 
actually visible resembles the figure 5 rather than 3 when compared 
with Chords N3 and N5.

One version would be - top down

The other

Any thoughts welcome.
