I can't fully answer, but I can narrow your search. Unfortunately, I think several of the early versions of La Folia will be in Italian tablature; I don't know what of these have been subsequently set in French tablature. Dall'Aquila's many settings of La Cara Cossa will be for six-course lute. For vihuela (functionally 6-course lute), there are Pisador's Pavana sobre La Folia, Valderrábano's Pavana and an anonymous Diferencias sobre Folias in the Silva de Sirenas manuscript, and Mendoza's Diferencias de Folías in the Ramillete de Flores manuscript. For four-course guitar (which could be pretty easily realized on renaissance lute by limiting your use of its range) are Mudarra's Una Pavana and Le Roy's settling of the song "Mes pas semez." This last I know was originally in French tablature.
