Legend

» Bold entries denote sources that can be downloaded from this website.

» (Parentheses) denote links to downloadable digital copies, in .pdf, .djvu, and .txt format. For .djvu files, you'll need a djvu reader (free). For the .txt files, take them with a grain of salt - most were OCRed by Archive.org, and while some times there's text that's useful (mostly for search purposes), other times there's total garbage.

» {Curly brackets} denote links to additional information, including the original sources of the digital downloads, or additional analysis. Downloads unique to this page (i.e., those scanned from my personal collection) can be found by searching for {Enge}.

» [Square brackets] denote copies known to exist in my library [Enge], Richard Powers' library [Powers], and other libraries around the world [WorldCat].

» A ♬ following the name of a dance denotes that accompanying music is provided in that source.

» A ♩ followed by a number denotes that the source has listed the corresponding metronome marking for that dance in beats per minute. Where metronome markings are provided in more complex forms, i.e., 88 dotted half notes per minute for Cellarius' valse à deux temps, I have converted them to simple bpm.

» The following symbols are (beginning to be) used to denote the type of source:

Notes: All capitalizations and spelling sic. Completely re-arranged from the 3rd Edition (1665), with new dances added. The idea seems to have been to organize the dances by form (round vs. longways) and number of dancers, but this organization is abandoned in the later pages. This copy is missing four pages (p. 77 to 80). Other pages are mis-paginated, but that is an error in the original printing.

Mr. Landrin. (c. 1760). 1 Potpourri Francois des Contre-Danse Ancienne. Paris. (pdf) {BNF} [Enge] [Powers]

Notes: Library of Congress dates this series as 1760. BNF dates it as 1775. Other sources date it anywhere from 1760 to 1785. Given that it seems a bit more primitive than other French contredanse sources (e.g., it doesn't have the helpful illustrations that those sources do), my guess would be on the earlier end of the range, but without finding a contemporary reference to its publication in a definitively dated source, we can't be sure.
