Summary[edit]

Description
English: Picture from page 118 of Geschichte der deutschen Malerei by Hubert Janitschek. This illustration was reproduced in the Encyclopedia Britannica (12th edition) with the caption, "Representation of a European Guitar. A.D. 1180." The article was written by Kathleen Schlesinger, a historian. She got the image from the Cod.Bibl.fol.57 at what is now the Württembergische Landesbibliothek Stutgart, frame 520-257v. Schlesinger felt the instrument held by the leading man was a guitar; however it could also be a plucked fiddle. Ephraim Segerman defined the instruments as resembling the citoles (which resembled the guitar but had wing projections at the top.)[1] The plucked fiddles lacked the wing projections and were rounded, so that the instrument could also resemble the guitar.[1]
