Piero da Ricasoli, discussing instrumental virtuosi in Cosimo Bartoli’s Ragionamenti accademici, includes the following trombonists: Bartolomeo, Zaccheria da Bologna, and Lorenzo da Lucca (who “has in his playing a certain grace and lightness, with a manner so pleasing as to make me dumbstruck, beyond which he even handles both a viola and a lute with a marvellous grace”) (Tim Carter, Music in Late 164).
