I agree. The best of which I'm aware is scattered references to scattered instruments in literature focused either on specific collections or instrument types--just a couple e-examples: http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/PluckedStrings/Guitars/Sellas/3346/DomenicoSellasGuitar.html http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/1990.103
Regarding guitars attributed to members of the Sellas family, those are often catalogued as no better than "attributed to." There is also a lovely 1642 mandola/liuto catalogued by Morey by M. Sellas.

I'm not aware of any detailed work dedicated to the output of this maker - in fact, few lute or guitar makers (other than 19th century ones like Torres) have attracted research comparable to that of the famous violin makers.

Anybody that can point me to articles written particularly on him? or that deal more generally with the luthiers of 17th century Venice and FAA(c)ssen? In Italian, German, Spanish and French as well!
