Flamenco History Primary sources links.
This post by Kitarist is buried somewhere and I keep looking for those links. So I was thinking to store them in this topic and if anybody comes across open source links to flamencology evidence and papers they can drop here for easy search.
Eduardo Ocón score (1874) linked by Kitarist below
Guillermo Castro Buendia dissertation covering flamenco at the time of Silverio Franconetti (based on his book). Warning!!! 3,000 page document. Click on the link below, then edit the “o” in the word “Formacion” to “Formación” to make the link active:
Cross-referencing it so there is a link to the original long thread for context and if one wants to delve into that for more details. I will be adding something to that thread shortly.

Glinka's travel notes re: Spain are in volume 2 of the inaugural year (1870) of a historical monthly called "Русская старина"- something like "Russian historical documents" loosely translated based on its contents.

Well you guys are doing good historical work. Ricardo, looking at the Minguet y Irol MS, I have to agree that there seems to be no reason to assume, as does Castro, that there is a missing page; in other words, whatever it is, it's not a good example of an 18th-c textbook fandango copla.
