1400-1500 - Dance steps and music for "The Beginning of The World" were published.
Sellenger's Round, also known as "The Beginning of the World", was in the first edition of Playford in 1651. Anyone care to stick their neck out and say whether it was published earlier somewhere else? Orchesographie also has the wrong date (1589) and it certainly doesn't contain anything called The Beginning of the World.
