Orchesography

From Cunnan

Orchesography is the major source for French Renaissance Dance. It was published in Langres in 1589, under the name Thoinot Arbeau. This is a pseudonym based on the author's actual name, Jehan Tabourot. The book is written in a dialogue style between Arbeau and a student called Capriol.
