A network for historic guitars and vihuelas

Bartolotti

Does anyone know where I could purchase a copy of Bartolotti's Secondo libro di chitarra (Rome, c.1655)? I don't think OMI carries it anymore. Thanks

Jeffrey Lawrence George also published a modern guitar performing edition for MelBay (MB21423) which includes reproductions of 54 pages of Bartolotti's book at the end. The reproductions seem somewhat smaller than the earlier facsimile, as I recall. The George edition includes a brief bio, and a brief discussion of the source, and a longer discussion of his transcription method.
