There is a recent critical edition:

Title    L'Organo suonarino: (Venezia 1605)
Volume 31 of Tastata. Studi e documenti
Author    Adriano Banchieri
Editor    Edoardo Bellotti
Publisher    Il Levante, 2014
ISBN    8895203445, 9788895203447
Length    164 pages

The editor says-

Although l’Organo Suonarino (1605) is cited extensively in the scholarly 
literature on organ and liturgical practice in the 17th century – and 
has been the subject of several dissertations – the lack of a modern 
critical edition has prevented the knowledge and the practical use of 
this source of considerable historical and pedagogical importance. The 
new critical edition I published seeks to bring this remarkable book to 
a wider musical community. The original Italian text has been completely 
translated into English. Here we find not only an incredible amount of 
information about liturgical practice and organ playing in the early 
17th century, together with a large collection of versetti and of pieces 
for the Catholic service, but also a powerful teaching tool delivering 
the “tricks of the trade” for the organist: how to accompany the 
plainchant, improvise verses and compose pieces with all the skills of 
the art of counterpoint.
