This is a celebrated book of guitar tablature first published by Francisco Guerau in Madrid in 1694. A valuable early source for Spanish music of a popular kind, such as marizápalos, canarios, folías, etc., as well as for the passacalles which make up most of the book. This is a complete facsimile reprint of the original 1694 edition, with a new introduction by Brian Jeffery with full bibliographical details and an English translation of Guerau’s own dedication, prologue, and technical instructions.
