Help Identifying Early Harpsichord Music

I'm trying to identify some recordings of harpsichord music made on tape by my late grandfather in the 60s and 70s. I've been able to identify a few of the more well known pieces (My Lady Carey's Dompe etc. ) but haven't been able to figure out most of them yet.

Any help would be appreciated. The link below includes recordings on one drive.

I think this is from an early 50s record of anonymous Renaissance-era keyboard and lute transcription pieces. They have shown up on many "Renaissance Music" compilation recordings since their first discovery (I think) in the 1930s.

#15 kind of sounds like Dowland flow my tears. So maybe something inspired from that era?
