Meucci gives a whole series of references which support his contention
that in Italian sources the terms chitarra or chitarrino refer to a small
lute whatever they may refer to in any other language. Amongst the
latest of these are -
Cerreto (1601) - Strumento della chitarra à sette corde, detto
Bordelletto alla Taliana (i.e. all'Italiana)
Vocabolario della Crusca which in the first edition of 1612 defines
Chitarra as - A kind of lute, which lacks the bass and soprano.
Pietro Millioni (Rome 1627) certain pieces are dedicated to the
"chitarrino overo ghitarra italiana".
Maybe, I'm missing something: how do the first and third references
support the contention that chitarra and chitarrino refer to lute and not
guitar/proto-guitar?
