“The seven books of tablature for the vihuela that were printed between 1536 and 1576 contain a total of 690 works and form the nucleus of the repertory” - John Griffiths

These books are listed below in chronological order by their common (shortened) names. Some of these manuscripts have been split into two parts as several of the manuscripts are over 200 pages in length. For more information and a searchable index of vihuela pieces, documents, recordings and instruments I strongly recommend that you visit Johns Griffiths’ remarkable online vihuela database HERE.
