Especially the biography is very interesting!
You may consider correcting one point: in the 1916 Worp edition of Huygens
letter of letter of May 7, 1660, the title was mistakenly transcribed as
sig.orita.

The original letter is in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in Den Haag. It
clearly reads sig.or.

For those of you who are interested...
My web site - [1]www.monicahall2.wordpress.com now has on it an
extended study
of Corbetta - the best of all in the words of Sanz and in my
estimation
too.
The highlights of this are
1. An extended biography - I have collected together all the
information
currently known about his life and added a few snippets which I myself
have discovered in the process and tried to set it out in coherant
chronological order.
2. A parellel translation of the Italian and French prefaces from La
guitarre royale (1671) with his tablature example set out in a way
which
should make it possible to compare the two.
It also includes translations of the instructions to the player from
his
four other books with examples and commentary.
You will find it by clicking on the heading Corbetta on the home page
preceding the edition of his manuscript pieces.
It is all free! Not sure that Ron would approve of that after reading
his
last post but not belonging to the musical establishment or being part
of
anyone's business model this is the only way I can make my efforts
available - not to mention expose them to public scrutiny.
Feel free to comment - but I am not likely to update this monumental
work
any time soon.
But a monumental vote of Thanks to Rob who has made it all possible.
Regards to all
Monica
