This easy-to-read modern tablature should be completely faithful to Francois Campion's original tablature. Let me know of any errors you find. Donald Sauter.

Title: Gigue - obmise en la suitte de la page 12me.
Composer: Francois Campion.
Source: Nouvelles decouvertes sur la Guitarre.
Unnumbered page following page 12.
Date: 1705.
Facsimile: Minkoff (1977), page 34.

Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string):
M15r2 original showed 4er. Changed to 8th here.
Tablature elements to be added by hand:
No slurs in this piece.
Strums: Arrowheads ^ and v indicate strums. Open strings in strummed chords
were not shown in the tablature; add as many open strings as sound good.
Take a moment to re-draw the ^ arrowhead right at the top of the associated
stem.
Explanation of symbols:
" = trill (starting on upper neighbor).
, = mordent (main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note).
. = do not strum this string in the chord.
$ = petite reprise symbols. Repeat the material between the signs.
Repeat path:
M48 first time, repeat back to m18r2.
M48 second time, repeat back to m40r2 (petite reprise).
Octave doublings: To keep certain musical lines intact on the modern guitar,
consider adding or substituting the next octave up. For example, see:
m19r2, m32r3, m34r2 and m45r3.
