And the staff lines are very precise, as precise as courses, but the
tablature is blank...
What does that indicate?

The englaving is unusually precise. Look for the strange slots cut in the
walls of the pegbox. especially the bass side.
It sure looks like an angelique to me.

Dear Karl,
I'm looking invariable puzzled at the engraving for more then 20 years
and I counted the pegs too. I recently converted (tempted by videos of
some great modern players!) one of my swan neck lutes to single
strings as well. I still have all the pegs on place, just single
strings. It is possible.
Thanks for the observation,
Jurek

J,
if you count the pegs on Adamo´s Lute there will be some more than 13 or
14.

Yeee...
There are men who loves "chaos", they need it to breath, to florish,
in the best possible terms.
Others cannot live without order, alwaye seeking knowledge and
establishing harmony, whatever is the evidence.
Some are doing this and saying the other ;-)
The past is unpredictable, to say anachronistically, and largely in
our hands. Look at this:

Single strings or double courses? Of course, we know the man, his
opus, obviously a swan neck lute, French tuning, bla bla bla, etc.,
etc. But stop automatic thinking, click again. Wishful thinking, a
florish of knowledge or chaos of evidence? Is it a trick or a very
simple matter of fact?
Single stringing is historical ;-)))
