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.

Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string): 
  M12r1 original symbol has black note-head. Changed to half here. 

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.
    M28 r1-2s1.
    M29 r1-2s1.
    M30 r1s1.

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 (none in this piece).
  . = do not strum this string in the chord. 

Trill clarification: m11r1s2 upper neighbor shown to be fret f (=5).
