Addresses on the internet that relevant to the lute.

Tablatures, scores, books.

The large international libraries now continuously digitalise their holdings, and increasingly put more and more illustrations of complete original lute tablatures on the web. Thus, digitalised versions of a large number of printed and manuscript tablatures are also available via the internet, and at the same time an ever-growing proportion of the lute sources can be found, scanned in as old black-and-white copies as well as valuable, coloured reproductions. It is well worth searching regularly for new publications.
