 1560206463,
Stampatus in Stampatura Stampatorum, 1670. Half leather. A curious collection of Macaronic poetry, many of which provide detailed descriptions of early 16th C. dances. Of particular interest to historians of dance are the poems "Introductorium ad bassas dansas", "Consilium pro Dansatoribus", "Modus de choreando ben", & "Admonition ad Dansantes". Another 4-page section, "autres basses danses qui ne sont pas communes", gives the actual order of steps and movements for the dances described. The opening phrase of a related song is followed by strings of instructions: "R c ss d r d ss [etc.]". Each of these letters signifies a certain step or gesture. Very few such precise details remain from this period. The second part of the volume contains poems, in macaronics, in Italian and the patois of Bergamo. Macaronics are a form of burlesque poetry in which modern words with Latin endings are used to create an absurd effect. "Edition la plus complte que l'on ait de ce recueil." Brunet I, 393. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
