So I guess he was actually refering to the slopped-shouldered viol (the shape we moderns usually think of) as the "turtle-shape" when he said "forma chelyos". Therefore, "Minuritonibus" is refering to the more Italianate shape (if Italianate is the way to describe it)? http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/exhibns/music/simpson.html Roger To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
