Probably the most up-to-date entry point would be Andreas Schlegel's book on european lutes. He also provides some online information at https://accordsnouveaux.ch/de/instrumente/mandora-galizona-colascione There you'll find both a list of extant works for the instrument (family) as well as a bibliography.
