Guillaume Morlay was a French composer for the lute and renaissance guitar.  Morlaye was also a music publisher, and three of his books for renaissance guitar survive today.  Morlaye's books were printed in a series, along with the guitar book by Simon Gorlier.  The extant copy of Morlaye's Premier Livre de chansons, gaillardes, pavannes, bransles, almandes, fantaisies, reduitz en tabulature de Guiterne was published in Paris in 1552.  It is possible that this is a reprint, since the third book of the series (Gorlier's Troisieme [3rd] book) was published in 1551.  So an earlier date for Premier Livre is possible.  The book contains renaissance guitar instrumental music, including various dance music and Morlaye's guitar settings of chansons.  The music printed in Morlaye's book is in French Tablature.
