I found the document to which I'd referred. Not as useful as I'd hoped. There are a pair of receipts issued to the Pieta by two different suppliers in Venice that were discovered by Micky White and made available in 2002. One was issued by Selles and spans March-February 1745, and

Indeed, but the late renaissance mandore was distinct from Italian mandolino. I know of one very early mandolino built for a single high string, but all the other instruments and iconography of which I'm aware imply a high course of paired strings for mandolino. In the 19th c., sing
