22 <strong>Annotated</strong> <strong>Bibliography</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Renaissance</strong> <strong>Dance</strong>Justin du Coeur: This book explores the motifs <strong>of</strong> motion found in the<strong>Renaissance</strong>, and tries to draw some conclusions about dance movementfrom them. Franko's writing style is extremely dense, making the bookquite difficult to read, but he has some interesting things to say about thenotion <strong>of</strong> movement as a form <strong>of</strong> communication. The book is very heavyon quotes; roughly a third <strong>of</strong> the text is quotes. Most quotes are given bothin the original language and in English.Gargiulo, PieroGargiulo, Piero (editor).

The Rose and Nefr <strong>Dance</strong> Manual. Rose and Nefr Press,[1988].Del (D.Elson): One <strong>of</strong> the better in-print general dance manuals for SCAdance. This does not attempt to exclusively cover period dance, however. Anumber <strong>of</strong> the dances included are SCA inventions, and the book focussesheavily on English Country, contains very few Italian rennaissance dances,and omits completely any study <strong>of</strong> the 15th C Basse Danse from Burgundyor Italy.Justin du Coeur: There are two tapes accompanying the book, whichcontain danceable (if not always lovely) recordings <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the dancescontained therein. Also, while the book does contain some non-perioddances, it is pretty honest about them: there is a "<strong>Dance</strong>s that aren'tperiod" section at the end for the SCA dancs that really have noconnection to period, and it <strong>of</strong>ten (although not always) acknowledges thedances that are a bit borderline. In general, it accomplishes what it set outto do: document SCA dances. I wouldn't recommend it to the researcher,but it's an excellent place to start if you're just interested in learning someperiod dances as generally done today in the SCA.Horst, Louis Horst, Louis.
