There you should find more on the entire subject.
the G.A. Doni MS (IT-Perugia), an incredible P.F. Valentini theori
and continuo MS (Roma), the Gianoncelli print, Zamboni and dalla
Casa (some sort of decadent instrument called 'arcileuto
francese'), there is not much more for an archlute. So players
nowadays are looking for a repertire, that's quite natural. But I
guess historical archlute players were not that badly looking for
"d-m lute music" in order to convert it to their tuning, but
played whatever was arround, songs, dances, Corelli hits or their
own inventions, all mostly - who knows - without the help of
paper... yes, by heart... or "straight from its music notation",
if I can cite from Weiss.
One of my students, following some historical sources and played
one of the Corelli Sonatas on the d-m lute, with a noticable
pleasure and, I'd say, success. Why this direction is not so
willingly followed?
I have played a sarabande from violin sonata by Corelli in a
version for d-m lute. Its in Stefan Lundgren's tutor. I would very
much like to hear your student's version!
She played one of the entire Corelli Sonata (o course transposed) for
an exam in the passed academic year, we don't have any recording of
of it, obviously. Now she is in Trossingen for a year before coming
back to Krakow for the final diploma year. She started her lute
playing on the baroque lute and I think it's her main instrument,
beside of the Italian type theorbo for practical reasons (that was
her second one).
