Subject: RE: Thoinot Arbeau: writer, collector, both?
Thoinot Arbeau is the anagrammatic pen name of French cleric Jehan Tabourot (March 17, 1519, Dijon - July 23, 1595, Langres). Tabourot is most famous for his Orchésographie, a study of late sixteenth-century French Renaissance social dance.

The manual provides critical information on social ballroom behaviour and on the interaction of musicians and dancers.
