In this article I propose to describe the character of the manuscripts of guitar quintets that are attributed to Boccherini, which came to light since the publication of my book on this subject 32 years ago.1 I will also offer an evaluation of the reliability of these manuscripts as authentic representations of the composer’s genius. Now, with the passage of time, it is important to reexamine some of the conclusions I made in 1981 regarding the material that have come to light with the discovery of the correspondence between Louis Picquot and François de Fossa.
