I have just heroically looked through 260 pages of the Ms. It appears

PS. Having played through it just now I notice a few errors in the original
Ms. (uncorrected in the typesetting):

Although I think that Falkenhagen etc. were using the ringfinger, there
are to my knowledge no direct RH fingerings at all.

I think Jorge is speaking about a manuscript that contains the
instructions by Lesage de R. but different music (for 13c. lute).

The Burwell informant makes it clear that the ring finger is not used:
For the forefinger of the right hand we mark one dot; for the second
finger, two dots. The two other fingers we do not use. (Dart, 31)
This is in line with the printed French sources prior to 1700 (Gault I and
