The University Library Utrecht has a copy. I have checked some years ago and I made a note: The registers of the court document Corbetta’s yearly salary of 160 Thaler. Heinrich Sievers, Die Musik in Hanover (Hanover: Sponholz, 1961), 46 and 134. Pobably just that. I have not seen the original register.
