[LUTE] Re: piece of the month update

Dear All:
 On the following page, the dedication is clearly signed "Michelangelo 
Galilei." They can't both be right, can they? A nickname? A version from a 
regional dialect? From an editor's point of view, it appears more likely that 
the title page is incorrect and the dedication is correct. The book was 
printed in Munich, I think.
 Other thoughts?
Cheers,
Jim

Hello Greet,

(Thanks for the painting - very interesting.  Have you put it on your 
page on the Ning Lute network?  I'm sure many people would be interested)

I always thought that "Michelagnolo" was just wrong, that it should be 
"Michelangelo" but that's what it says on his title page, and it does 
seem possible ("Michael the lamb") when you think about it.  Can any 
Italians out there enlighten us?

Best wishes,

Martin
