[1] The name of this dance is alternatively spelt Cinquepace or Sinkapace in the 8 MSS (see diplomatic and semidiplomatic editions with original spelling). In order to facilitate computational lexical analyses, it has been decided to modernise and homogenise its spelling as “Cinquepace”, to respect the French/Italian etymology (i.e., five steps).⇑
