Thank you very much for your help. I thought the spelling might be odd because I couldn't find some of the words in the dictionary. Nor could Google translate.

(The guitar instruction that Kaiser Leopold received in Vienna, while still a young prince, from Francesco Corbetta, who lived from ca.1615 to 1681.) The ledger entry is full of deviations from the modern accepted spellings and word usage of the German language.

I can guess more or less what it is about but can't fathom out the details. He was played 60 fl. for whatever he did.... Eintrag in den Hofzahlamtsrechungen für den Zeitrum 13 November (1648) bis Ends July 1649 – Johann Francisco Corbetta Musico umbwillen er vor beeden Khönigli Persohnen auf der Kittara gespielt zur Verehrung dargeraicht 60 fl. Der Gitarrenunterricht, den Kaiser Leopold I noch als der jung Erzherzog in der Zeit zwischen November 1648 – July 1649 in Wien durch Francesco Corbetta (ca. 1615-1681) erheilt. Thanks for any help.
