Hello all-- Do any of you have a view(s) on what instrument Besard wanted for his Nova Testudo? The other lutes seem pretty clearly to be 9 or 10 course instruments a 4th apart. The top lute, to me, looks like he's assuming reentrant tuning. I'm tempted to think of Castaldi's tiorbino, but that seems less likely outside of Italy that early in the 17th c. Thoughts? Thanks kindly, Thomas Walker, Jr.
