Source: DATA/LIBRARY_OF_DANCE/ABBYY TXT/1760c-Minguet-Arte_(BNE).txt (389 lines OCR; clean Spanish 18c print with fluid figures). STRUCTURE: 60 finely-engraved plates explaining (i) the FIVE POSITIONS, with movements of pies, piernas, brazos and Castanets (Castanuelas) instruction; (ii) 18 NAMED CONTRADANZAS NUEVAS (figured contradances): La Estrella, La Idea Buena, La Invencion Bella, La Greta Marrueca, Los Petimetres, Los Muchachos, Los Presumidos, Seguid y Fandango, Los Bailarines, La Macarena, La Discreta, La Pastoril, La Diligente, La Malaguena, La Catalana, El Suple Seguid, La Alemana, La de Teatro; (iii) 6 DANZAS / MINUETES FIGURADOS: Minuete regular, El Pasapie comun, El de Alcides, El de Espana, El de entre quatro, La Guastala; (iv) OTHER DANCES DE CHOREGRAFIA: La Bretana, El Rigodon, Las Folias, El Amable Vencedor, El Charman vainqueur, La Borea & Cortesana. PEDAGOGICAL ROLE: Minguet's preface cites his SIXTY laminas as demonstrating 'el perfecto modo de escribir y delinear los Bayles' and credits himself as 'el unico en Espana de dichos Bayles en Choregraphia desde el ano 1733'. The book pairs SPANISH NATIONAL BAILES (Seguidillas, Fandango, Folias, Boleras-ancestor) with FRENCH COURT BELLE-DANSE pieces (Aimable Vainqueur, Charmant Vainqueur, La Bretagne, Rigaudon, Minuet) — an explicit transmission-record of the Pecour/Feuillet Versailles repertoire into the Madrid Bourbon court of Felipe V / Fernando VI. ROSETTA STONE LINKS: matches existing canonicals H-BAR-VAR-F0078 (El Amable Vencedor, also notated by Ferriol 1745); H-BAR-VAR-F0140 (La Bretagne, Feuillet 1704); H-BAR-RIG-F0003 (Le Rigaudon umbrella); H-BAR-MIN-F0034 (Le Menuet umbrella); H-BAR-BRA-F0022 (Le Passepied umbrella). HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: the most substantial mid-18c Spanish dance-instruction treatise, predating the Iberian Bolero codification by ~30 years and documenting the parallel survival of French-court belle-danse and Spanish national bailes in the Bourbon Madrid court. Has_Step_Detail = Partial (per-figure formation diagrams and narrative descriptions are present; per-step Castanet rhythm and Spanish foot-position vocabulary are summarized prose-stylistically rather than in step-table format). Companion-source to the already-ingested Ferriol 1745 (LOC-1745-FERRIOL) for the Spanish Baroque dance corpus.Year: 1760Family: minguetCatalog: local
