-----Message d'origine-----
we should not overlook the possibility that
fretting in the England in the early 16th century WAS of equal size
------
Perhaps we should keep in mind the two men painted were French (Jean de
Dinteville was ambassador in London when the painting was made, and
Georges de Selve was giving him a visit.)
And Jean de Dinteville (again painted as a man with a lute :

perhaps bring his lute with him. So is the way of fretting English or
French (or both ?)
Any idea, regarding the lute, of its origine ? (Italy ?)
