Depure's book makes quite a reading, especially if one is interested in
the theory of royal spectacles as artificial sea battles accompanied by
fireworks and parachuting penguins. You can download it here

When I wanted to look up the theorbe and lute quotation I had problems.
Depure spells théorbe "tuaurbe" and luth "lut".
When comparing 2 things he says that they are "as different as guitar or
lute, that is as horse and dromedar."
Dromedar. Interesting !
