520 _aOriginally published in 1651 under the title of The English dancing master, this work went through numerous editions from 1652 to 1728. Compiled by John Playford (1623-1687), a publisher of music books, the treatise is considered an important work on English country dances, a form of dance where couples perform a series of set patterns. The 18th edition is the last one of the original run. Information from Dean-Smith (1957)
