To the plectrum/dedillo list could be added Mersenne's four course
mandore, where he mentions the possibility of a plectrum tied to a finger.
(On a plectrum instrument this would also have the effect of freeing the
thumb enabling the playing of chords with holes on this mandore and four
course
That's right Peter. And where did I see a painting of a lute player
(Mersenne?) with a plectrum tied to his index finger? Is it in the Grove
entry on the lute?

it's difficult for me to see the details properly but
following david hockney's secret knowledge expose on
the painterly use of prisms and mirrors,
Hockney's expose has already been debunked, many times over.
