Justin du Coeur: This is a 62-page tract discussing dance. The Italian
is, I'm afraid, beyond my limited skills -- it's rather more challenging
than the usual limited-tense dance Italian than I can handle. My understanding
is that this primarily inveighs against dance, and the dangers of dancing,
but that should be considered hearsay until someone really reads through
the thing. I would *love* a translation, in whole or in part, for the Letter
of Dance; while it doesn't appear to contain any choreographic information,
I would suspect that it can tell us a bit about the mileu of dance in the
16th century.
