Conde de Redondo MS

Hello all,
Does anyone here have more information or links concerning the Portuguese MS "Conde de Redondo" ? Guessing/reconstructing the (non-existant!) rhythm of the pieces it contains is more than a challenge !

This has a few transcriptions. It is available online at https://www.academia.edu/1094109/The_Five_course_Guitar_viola_in...
