Fig. 4. —
Representation of a European
Guitar. A.D. 1180.
Kathleen Schlesinger (who wrote the article this appeared in) felt the instrument held by the leading man was a guitar; however research later in the century offers another possibility; 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]
