Subject: Ristori / Weiss. Facts?

Coming weekend I'm to play Divoti Affetti alla Passione di Nostro
   Signore by Giovanni Alberto Ristori. I've been given a figured bass
   that is marked theorbe/organo. Ristori worked in Dresden at the time
   Weiss was there too. Are there any facts connecting the two?

Ask Tim Burris who wrote a dissertation about this. Speaks perfect Dutch too.

Hello David,
in the Staatshandbuch from 1735 Ristori is mentioned next to 
Chamber-Lutenist Silvius Leopold Weiss as Chamber-Organist.

They played in the same orchestra, so probably / for sure Silvius 
Leopold Weiss played the theorbo part.

Best regards
Markus

How well do we know what Weiss's handwriting looked like? Is there a way to be definitive on this basis?

There are many examples of Weiss's handwriting, we have letters and 
autograph manuscripts.
As far as I know, but I never read Charlie Schroeder's article on it, 
there are also some autograph entries in some of the theorbo parts - I 
looked today and found one in the SLUB's digital library with some short 
entries, but from this letters ("6", "6/")
I cannot say wether this is Weiss's handwriting, although it probably 
is, as he had been the only theorbo/lute player after 1730 (probably 
even earlier).

Best regards
Markus
