Dances from Il Papa

The Il Papa manuscript, thought to have been written around 1500 or 1550, or possibly somewhere in between, is neither 15th Century Italian in style nor 16th Century Italian. Instead it lies somewhere in between, having elements of 15th Century dance as well as some of the features of 16th Century dance.
