There is e.g. Judenkünig's Utilis et compendiaria introductio, Janowska's treatise on lutes (including his famous quote on lutes and roofs in Prague), there are several prefaces (Mertel, van den Hove, Rude etc), and there is http://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testudo_%28instrumentum_musicum%29 (end of shameless self-promotion).
