This is a collection of accumulated PDFs relevant to my own researches and to the study of Thomás de Sancta Maria's Libro Entitulado Arte de Tañer Fantasía (1565). I am very grateful to have found these papers for the purposes of my own research, and I hope that they might be useful to other musicians who share my interests.
