The Brussel instrument is depicted in âThe Lute in Europe 2" p. 114.
Because of the disposition of the petit jeu with 5 courses (1x1 + 4x2)
I think it could be a Chitarra attiorbata. The tiorbina tablature in
Castaldi asks for 6 courses in the petit jeu.

Dear David, dear Bruno,
thanks to both of you so much!
I agree that the Cleveland instrument, beautiful as it may be, seems more
likely to be a small arciliuto. And I'm grateful for your pointing at MH
Brussels No.1578. I shall try to get pictures and/or plans.
