This book is a scholarly edition of a mid-sixteenth-century manuscript in the Osborn collection at the Beinecke Library at Yale. The manuscript comprises an important and previously unpublished collection of music for lute, gittern, and guitar, written in tablature. John M. Ward has carefully transcribed this music into modern notation and provided a substantial introduction and commentary. Of obvious interest to lutenists, to whom a valuable body of music is now available, the book also provides fascinating insights into the development of popular verse and music, particularly in connection with the use of ballad tunes.
