Talk:fistule
The 1952 Petit Larousse (Fr. dictionary) cites a second def of 'fistule': 'Coup de ciseau ou de marteau aplliqué à travers sur le bois'. Relatedly, the term appears to have described some sort of woodwind instrument in the 14th cent.: Guillaume de Machaut includes it in an inventory of instruments in his poem 'Le Remède de fortune':
'Viële, rubebe, guiterne, Leü, morache, michanon, Citole, et le psalterion, Harpes, tabours, trompes, naquaires, Orgues, cornes, plus de dis paires, Cornemuses, flajos, chevrettes, Douceinnes, simbales, clochettes, Tymbre, la flaüste brehaingne, Et le grant cornet d’Alemaingne, Flajos de saus, *fistule*, pipe, Muse d’Aussay, trompe petite, Buisines, eles, monocorde, Ou il n’a c’une seule corde, Et muse de blef tout ensamble.'
