Ms. Mus.17706, Oesterreichische Nationalbibliothek, Wien
========================================================
(I list only the theorbo-part)
                               (Mus.17706 [A.N.65.A233]ch.XVIII,92f.)

The ms. consists mainly of music for d-minor lute, compositions of
Gallot, Gautier, Dufeaux, Dupre, Bertelli, Logis. All the music
is in French tabulature.

At the end of the collection there is some music for theorbo. 
The music starts from the last folio, and proceeds to the beginning! 
So the folio numbers from the beginning on the theorbo part will be 
opposite to the normal: 92v, 92r, 91v, 91r, ...!!

[The theorbo music is of very high quality, the style is French,
the language is Italian! Many of the candences make me think that 
the player had an octave double string at least with his seventh string.]

92v Accordo della Teorba (tuning instructions)
92v Giaconna  (G-major, assuming therbo in a)
92r Allemanda (G)
92r Sarabanda (G)
91v double o' variatione (G)
91r Corrente (G)
91r variatione (G)
90r Preludio (G)
89r Giga (G)
89r Allemanda di Angelo Michiele (G)
88r Passa corde sopra Celamie (e-minor)
88r Corrente (e)
87v variatione (e)
87r Sarabanda (e)
87r variatione (e)
