I found your website through an internet search after having read an article you wrote entitled “‘Caro Mio Ben’: Some Early Sources.” The NATS Bulletin, vol. 38, no. 2, Nov/Dec 1981, p. 20. I read the short bio within the article and had to find you!
In reading what you wrote about your experience in finding the primary source of Vaccai’s/Vaccaj’s “Metodo pratico di canto per camera” at the British Museum, my own heart skipped a beat!
I am a grad student at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago, Illinois. I would be in your debt to hear from you with regard to the following questions:
1. By any chance do you still have the photocopy of the source?
2. If so, would you be willing to send a .pdf of the photocopy to me and let me know your fee?
3. Would you provide the ISBN number to your edition of the method?
I appreciate your consideration of my request and look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
P.S. I found a review of your editions at https://www.nats.org/cgi/page.cgi/_subscription.html?cmd=dl&file=5ED8qhfwgvNSgDS0LhVqg9NIAa6F_21Jtnt1IVK8koH
