The Lindemann Tablatures are a collection of 9 manuscripts copied by Gottfried Lindemann which contain organ music from Dietrich Buxtehude and currently held in the Universitetsbibliotek, Lund. They are dated 1713-1714.
These manuscripts are highly important for musicologists studying Buxtehude's organ music. Written in New German Tablature Notation, they are closer to the notation that Buxtehude likely used. They transmitted many important readings, such as "G B-flat C" in the pedal during the Prelude in G Minor (BuxWV 149). It is theorized that these manuscripts may be the most direct descendent from autographs of organ music written by Buxtehude.
Description
"Lindemann Tab" refers to a bundle of individual manuscripts, each containing one piece.
Two hands can be identified, one of Lindemann and another from a certain "J. C. H." (the initials are left on one of the fascicles) which has added a few notes in S-L Wenster N:5 and N:9[1].
Proximity to Buxtehude
Lindemann was a student of Friedrich Gottlieb Klingenberg and Michael Rohde (another pupil of Klingenberg), and copied the fascicles which can be traced to his hand during these times. Since Klingenberg had claimed to be a pupil of Buxtehude, theoretically we could be dealing with manuscripts extremely close to the autographs of Buxtehude, only a "third or fourth generation" copy in fact[1].
The different pieces by Buxtehude that were copied by Lindemann have different amounts of errors in them, which suggests that these fascicles were copied exactly from their sources (without a critical eye) and were based on a variety of different sources (some with more or fewer errors)[2].
Date
The manuscripts are dated between 1713-1714. However, Lindemann may have been copying from manuscripts held by his teacher Friedrich Gottlieb Klingenberg, who lived in Lübeck near Buxtehude until 1689. Given this information, it can be assumed that Lindemann was copying from sources that dated to 1689 or before and that the Buxtehude compositions dated from before that date as well.[3]
N:1b
Wenster N:1b transmits a fragmented prelude in B-flat major. The notation stops in the middle of the second to last system on the first page, and no indication to turn the page ("verte", etc.) is given.[1]

Note: according to www.alvin-portal.org, the shelfmark for manuscripts donated by Wenster is Wenster N:8 etc.
