There is some Ialian music of the same period, for archlute, I think in manuscripts, and I also heard it played, quite nice. Unfortunately, the owners do not want it to be published or rehearsed.I suppose there must be much more.. There is a possibility to browse Italian libraries online (titles), I think I found Francesco Da Milano starting from "biblioteche pubbliche Milano Lombardia" in Google. Sorry I can't find the link now...
