There's also similar pieces for mandora/gallichon and clavicembalo eg 'Sei Sonate/Per le/Clavicembalo/ ed una Mandora' by Knerferle. I suggest a date of around 1780/90.
The lute instrument required is a large gallichon (aka mandora) in B. ie not the relatively smaller instrument in e' or d' used for the bulk of the extant solo and chamber repertoire and neither in a as used on the largest continuo gallichons.

The information is added by a later hand to the MS, very pale for SC 54 and 59, almost invisible for SC 56, at least in my copy of Dresden (Erbe deutscher Musik). You find that also in Lauffensteiner and Hagen (second lute or instruments). But, on the other hand they could of course have been performed on a cembalo. There's a work for lute and cembalo in the Rosani LB, by Falckenhagen, and (again) incomplete. It was advertised by Breitkopf, but I don't know what else. Oh, and there's the famous picture of C.H. Graun on (11c-)lute and his wife on cembalo...
