This bibliography offers a basis for finding information on the vihuela organised according to the following table. It does not aim to be a complete bibliography, but a list of key works. The first part offers details of original sources, facsimiles and modern editions. Many of the modern editions also contain significant studies about the repertory and its composers. The second part gives the numerous publications by topic. In the case of books and articles that cover multiple areas, we have only included them under their principal area.
