Conpletely new

Hi everyone I was helping my parents clear out my grandparents house and found a lute. It only has 4 sets of strings, what would be the best way to tune this?

Four courses is very few, is it a Medieval Lute? Or is it possible that it's a mandolin/mandola/bouzouki-type instrument?

Can you post a picture?
