Hello all, I'm wondering about the identity of the Laurencini of Besard's collection. It seems we have at least two viable candidates for the Lorenzino of Thesaurus Harmonicus. If I read Mariagrazia Carlone's work properly, she believes the Knight to be Vincenzo Pinti. However, I just scanned the notes of Marco Pesci's cd devoted to Lorenzino, and he vies for Lorenzino Tracetti.
Any general views on this? I just finished a cd of Italian lute music c. 1600, including a handful of tunes by Lorenzino. I don't intend to delve deep in the scholarship on this topic, much less add anything new, but I would like to get some facts straight before I write the CD notes (last task remaining). Thanks much all, Thomas Walker, Jr. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
