I found this page: http://www.studia-instrumentorum.de/MUSEUM/GITARREN/QB/git_qt_dtsch.htm
which gives text sources for guitar / chitarra (and "vIola napolitana" from Fugger, which could be a Vihuela) and so on.
But the first compositions seem to be from Kremberg. Am 16.05.2011 16:18, schrieb howard posner:
Is anyone aware of evidence, other than Kremberg's 1689 book, for the guitar in German-speaking lands before about 1750? To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
