Dear Franz, One of the best articles on the subject is 'Number symbolism in the renaissance lute rose' by Robin Headlam Wells in the January 1981 issue of Early Music (volume 9 no.1 ISSN 0306-1078). It discusses the lute rose, its historical origins and its relationship to renaissance humanism in considerable detail. It's available online at: http://em.oxfordjournals.org/content/9/1/32.full.pdf+html but unfortunately it's quite expensive to buy short term access.

I have got so far mainly Alexander Batov's welsite, the book "Islamic design" by Daud Sutton and "The grammar of ornament" by Owen Jones. Any idea and hint to dig deeper will be most welcome!

I find I'm not quite done looking at the old music. To anyone who is interested, we have a new blog post - not much about lute but about teaching music.
