There are couple of nice photos of the stringing on Louis Pernot homepage:

Subject: [LUTE] Stringing
As far as I can see, Louis Pernot has the strings of his lute strung in
the
normal order, i.e. with the bass of each course nearer the ceiling.
However,
the lowest courses are spaced at the nut in such a way that the gap
between
the strings of each course is greater than the gap between courses. That
makes it look as if he has strung those courses the wrong way round. The
spacing of the highest courses seems to be more conventional. It is less
important to have the spacing in the bass the same as the treble, because
you normally play bass courses in isolation, e.g. if you play a note on
the
9th course, it will be unlikely that you will need to play a note
simultaneously at the 8th or 10th course. That means there will be no harm
to the music if your left-hand finger snags up an adjacent string.
Best wishes,
Stewart McCoy.

Look at the way the stringing is done on this one, with the thinner
course above the thicker one. Is this the norm?
