Author: ANTOINE DE ARENA
Title: Antonius de Arena Provençalis, de Bragardissima Villa de Soleriis. Ad suos compagnones studiantes, qui sunt de persona friantes, bassas Dansas & Branlos practicantes
Description: 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 "œIntroductorium ad bassas dansas", "œConsilium pro Dansatoribus", "œModus de choreando benè", & "œAdmonition ad Dansantes". Another 4-page section, "œautres 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: "œR 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 complète que l'on ait de ce recueil." Brunet I, 393. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
