もうひとつChatGPTに質問をぶつけてみました。

Q.What is 'oyle of Tartar' mentioned in VARIETIE OF LUTE-lessons by Robert Dowland?
A.In "A Varietie of Lute-lessons" by Robert Dowland, "oyle of tartar" is mentioned as a cleaning agent for the lute. The term "oyle of tartar" refers to a mixture of potassium carbonate (tartar) and linseed oil, which was used to clean and preserve wood, particularly stringed instruments such as lutes.
To use "oyle of tartar" to clean the lute, a small amount of the mixture would be applied to a soft cloth and rubbed onto the surface of the instrument. The mixture would then be wiped away with a clean cloth, leaving the surface clean and polished. The use of "oyle of tartar" was a common practice in the 16th and 17th centuries for the maintenance of lutes and other wooden instruments.
However, it is important to note that the use of "oyle of tartar" on antique or valuable instruments is not recommended, as it can potentially cause irreversible damage to the instrument's finish. Instead, modern luthiers recommend the use of gentle, non-abrasive cleaning agents and the guidance of a professional conservator for the maintenance of antique instruments.

さすがChatGPT、VARIETIE OF LUTE-lessonsのことは知っているようです。a mixture of potassium carbonate (tartar) and linseed oilのことといっているのは正解です。トンデモ日本語訳版に出てくる、ワインの澱とかタルタルソースとかメレンゲ？という答えではありませんでした。でもVARIETIE OF LUTE-lessonsを実際に読み込んではいないんでしょうか、それをa cleaning agent for the luteだと言っていますが、VARIETIE OF LUTE-lessonsの本文には、oyle of Tartarでもって指をこする（annoint fingers) annoit=anoint とありますので、楽器を磨くのに使う薬剤ではありません。回答の２段落目、３段落目にはoyle of Tartarの使用上の注意が書いてありますが、古い楽器でも新しい楽器でもそんなもので楽器を磨いたらアカンでしょう。どこからそんな話引っ張り出してきたのかな？オイルフィニッシュのことを言っているのかな？
