Transcription of Negri's Le Gratie d'Amore / Nuove Inventioni Di Balli (1602/1604)

Methodology

This transcription is available in 2 fundamental forms: the raw, which mimics the printed original as closely as possible, and the clean, which has regularized spelling and dehyphenates words. In addition, you can get files as html or text.

The 1604 edition is the same as the 1602 addition, but has an extra section at the beginning, and moves the Indices from the end to after the extra section. For information on minor changes, please see the article Differences Among Different Copies and Editions of Negri's Dance Manuals.
