Matthias, I am not quite sure why we may infer the following:
"I understand the author as saying that a) he himself has an octave
string
with his 5th course, as opposed to b) Dentice and followers (Italians
in
general?) who have unisons for the 5th course. One may infer that
Dentice
also had unisons for his 4th course." Mathias
I have unissons on the 5th course of my 7c lute, but octaves on my
fourth, but perhaps I have missed something.
Regards
Anthony

I understand the author as saying that a) he himself has an octave
string
with his 5th course, as opposed to b) Dentice and followers (Italians
in
general?) who have unisons for the 5th course. One may infer that
Dentice
also had unisons for his 4th course.
