Thank you Captain Obvious :)
As there seems to be some obscurity about the origins of the minuet, it
would be nice to find other earlier examples.
If there aren't any, this is the first written minuet.
I usually don't play 17th century (with 7 courses, duh..)
I just find Doni's book easy to play and most pieces sound good on my
lute. But I don't know the other repertoire other than vieil ton.
That's why I'm asking the lute community to remember other examples from
that time :)

The minuet was introduced to the French court by Lully around 1673 but
that doesn't mean it didn't exist beforehand (Doni's manuscript was
probably completed about 30 years earlier).
Best,

..why is there a Minuet in Doni's Lutebook?

This dance shouldn't be popular until years later.
Any other very early minuets you know of?
Curiously,
Tristan
