Edin wasn't talking about "knowing things," he was talking about "playing the lute well." I've read books on the subject. They may have taught me a lot, but they didn't improve my playing. I believe that to "play the lute well" one needs to take the time it would take to read 30 books and use it for hands-on experience of luteplaying.
