May I suggest: 
The BhAvopahAra of CakrapANinAtha: A Sanskrit Hymn to Siva 
(11th-12th century A.D.), transl. by Enrica Garzilli
Supplemento n. 74 agli Annali-vol.53 (1993), fasc.1
Naples, Istituto Universitario Orientale, 1993

It is a wonderful text, and I tried to translate and explain the hymns and 
the cult of 
Siva in the light of the Kashmir Shivaims schools (the author was a poet 
belonging to that system originated from Vasugupta's 
Sivasutra and Kallata's Spandakarika)
I think it is available in all the main Libraries in the world, 
just like my previous "Lo SpandasaMdoha di Ksemaraja" is (same Series, 
Naples 1989).
