I am afraid the pieces in Barberiis are probably not for the 4-course guitar
but - as Stuart has kindly pointed out with the appropriate reference - for
a small 4-course lute or mandora.
Renato Meucci, Da 'chitarra italiana' a 'chitarrone': una nuova
interpretazione; in Enrico Radesca da Foggia e il suo tempo Atti del
Convegno di studi, Foggia 7-8 Aprile 2000, pp. 30 - 57.
There is a case to be made that this music by Bareriis isn't for
figure-of-eight 'normal'-if-tiny 'Spanish guitar but for a small
gittern/mandore-type instrument.
There no hard evidence that the 4-course guitar was played in Italy.

Thanks for the reminder, Arthur. I knew about these but had forgotten them
(too). It is more support that the little guitar was being played and even
written for.

Monica surely has simply forgotten about these Italian guitar pieces.
Just four pieces in a century is virtually the same as saying there are
no pieces.<g>:
