Biographies
The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:
John Dilworth+
DOMENICUS, Joannes Worked circa. 1600 Rome Italy. Dominican priest known from the label of one small-sized violin, the date of which is barely legible and some sources give as 1570, others 1610. Henley expands this to cover a multiple production of small violins, for which there is no evidence at all. Johannes Domenicus / Ord.fratrum / Romae 1570/1610
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Niederheitmann besass eine kleine Violine, die nach seiner Beschreibung in
ihrer Wölbung und den F-Löchern an Andreas Amati erinnerte. Das Holz
soll gut, der Lack braun und der Boden mit einer verzierten Einlage versehen
gewesen sein. Die Jahreszahl zweifelte Niederheitmann selbst an, er scheint
aber auch den ganzen Zettel falsch gelesen zu haben, der bei ihm lautet:
Joannes Cesarum Dominicus
Roma minorum 1510
