The RicercarLab of the Centre d'études supérieures de la Renaissance (Tours) and the Ente Olivieri of Pesaro (Italy) have created a partnership with the aim of promoting the digitization of an exceptional collection of several hundred 16th and 17th century lute works, gathered in twenty-six manuscripts rediscovered in 2018. These tablatures constitute a fundamental contribution to our knowledge of Italian instrumental music of the late Renaissance.
This project benefited from support from the French National Research Agency under the “Investments for the Future” program, under reference ANR-21-ESRE-0005 (Biblissima+).
Musicologists interested in contributing are invited to contact the responsible of the project, Philippe Canguilhem.
