about

English Dancing Master-Dances from French and Dutch Music Sources:
Pointel, Amsterdam and/or Paris
Philidor, Versailles
Leclerc, Paris
Witvogel, Amsterdam

All these choreographies don't figure in any continental dance manual eg. Feuillet, Dezais, Jayme, DURLACH, but their tunes and bass lines were known on the continent. So, probably their choreographies were known too - the either or the other way...
