Thanks Stuart!
de Visee surely played theorbo and guitar, but I do not know about lute.
Anyhow he was a professional - so I suppose he played also lute if
needed asked, and paid... :-)
Perhaps he teached somebody in the Saizenay-gang? And arranged his own
theorbo pieces to his student? Perhaps someone here has some more
information?
I played the theorbo version to yt in 2009 - unfortunately my recording
gear (ordinary pocket digital camera) had very low quality in sound
recording. My old theorbo version is in

Very nice Arto.
Does that Rondeau also exist in a version for theorbo? (I seem to
remember once having a recording of it).
Also (sorry if it's been discussed recently): Are these Saizenay
pieces arrangements of De Visee possibly by someone else (rather than
original compositions)?
It's curious that this music which really emphasises the low basses was
composed by a guitarist with nothing lower than a D below middle C in
the bass. But guitars and theorbos are different creatures, I suppose.

Perhaps someone in the main lute list and in the "vihuela list"
(mainly baroque guitar list) could be interested in de Visee stuff
by baroque lute? I tried to play some:
