". This means an appogiature >from below. When you find two notes tied together like these (4-5) you will strike [pluck] the first and will slide with the same finger [=glissando] on the second which is the perfect [consonance]. There is an istance of this in the Corrente detta la Sospettosa on page 9. It occours between two chords: ----0 -2--- ------ ------ -4--5 -2--0 The slur sign is between 4 e 5, so one plays the d cord and while plucking the two open g the 4th finger slides to 5.An other possibility is to play again f sharp together with the two g and make the slide after, doing a real appoggiatura, but the text seems to hint the first case.
