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

Anthoine Carre,

Fixes, modifications and comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M17p4 original shows an unnecessary 8th-note rhythm value, which is
already in effect.
M31p4 original shows a dot above the staff.
Tablature elements to be added by hand:
Slurs. If only a starting point is given, slur includes all the following
uninterrupted notes on the same string.
M10 p3-4s2, p4s2.
M13 p2-3s4, p3s4, p5s2.
M15 p2-3s4, p3s4, p5s2.
M17 p2s1.
M18 p3-4s1, p4s1, p6s2.
M22 p2s1.
M26 p2-3s1.
M27 p2-3s3, p5s2.
M28 p2s3, p6-7s1.
M29 p5-6s2.
M31 p4-5s2, p5s2.
M32 p4-5s2, p5s2.
M33 p4-5s1, p5s1.
M34 p4-5s1, p5s1. (Do not count position for $ symbol.)
Take a moment to fill out the 16th-note beams.
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.
Octave doublings: If you are playing on a modern, single-string guitar,
consider adding or substituting the next octave up almost everywhere
you see a 4th- or 5th-string note.
Performance style: consider playing the 8th notes inegales, that is, as dotted
8ths or "swing" 8ths (triplet feel).
Leading measures in Carre's original tablature:
