Many of the choreographies are preceded by full-page illustrations and each dance is provided with appropriate music written in Italian lute tablature and/or mensural notation Signatures: [star]⁶ A-2B⁶ Running title: Le gratie d'amore, the title under which the work was originally published in 1602 Includes lute tablatures for some of the dances Ea
