It was for want of any other suitable candidate. There's merely the name Bocquet, mentioned without given name, in tablatures of the 2nd half of the 17th century. Rollin says at the very beginning of her introduction (op. cit., p. xxiii-xxvi) that one cannot be sure. So, it remains her suggestion, and may I add, quite a convincing one IMO. The material she offers, and her arguments, possibly qualify as a bit more than a shred. Not of evidence, to be sure, but of plausibility. > See the review by Henry L.

Would you mind to give an abstract or something to that effect?
