J.S. Bach The Complete Lute Works by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Edited by Josef Eotvos. For Guitar (Classical). Solos. Chanterelle. Baroque. Advanced. Book. 128 pages. Published by Chanterelle (MB.ECH110).

ISBN 9780786668199. Baroque. 9" x 12" inches.

This edition contains J.S. Bach's lute works arranged for guitar. Most of these works were for the lute or the lute-harpsichord, a keyed instrument with gut strings that could imitate the lute with its colorful sounds. The arranger has retained the structure and character of the originals as much as possible, based mainly on consultation of the original sources, and has attempted to emulate the clarity of Bach's own manuscripts. Where works required significant alteration to be playable on guitar, the questionable parts have been reconstructed to arrive at the best solution which is the closest to the original. Fingerings have been added only where necessary. Extensive notes on the arranging process are included. Notation only.

poor left hand fingerings

The fingerings in the left hand are simply inapproriate. Because of this I wouldn't recommend this edition. Frank Koonce's fingers are much better, as well as other editions.
