Of course, Wiki is unreliable.
And - of course - there is no reason to believe the citation is incorrect.
However, why do you think I have asked for prints before 1596?
Barley has ornaments.

While Wikipedia is untrustworthy in most respects, in this case it may
be correct. While ornaments appear liberally in manuscript sources,
and there are various indications for right-hand fingering and
left-hand holds in earlier typeset prints of lute music, Vallet's
tablatures were engraved in copper, a very costly procedure that
probably contributed to his personal financial ruin. But this was the
only means of adding the extraordinarily detailed slurs, fingerings and
ornament signs to his printed tablatures. Since the statement
attributed to Herr Neumann is qualified with "may have been", there is
no reason to doubt the claim.

Subject: [LUTE] Earliest printed tablature with ornaments
Dear lute netters,
According to Wikipedia
"According to Frederick Neumann,[2] Vallet may have been among the
first to introduce ornaments into lute tablature."
Of course this is nonsense.
Anyway, does anybody know of printed tablature with ornaments before
1596?
