Santucci: Greg's Project for Known World.
Barriera (sic) is a dance of fighting at the barrier, with patticakes. Man and woman face, R patticake, L patticake, Both. In Santucci, it is different: feign to kiss both hands, touch with woman's hands on top. Feign to kiss both hands, touch with man's hands on top. (Kiss) R and touch, (kiss) L and touch... [all mistakes mine] More subtle. Before or after chronologically? Greg shrugs.
"Santucci has an excellent intro by the Doyenne of Academic Renaissance Dance, Barbara Sparti." Jeffie Matt and Vincent and Isabel and others transcribed the Italian text, and Gregory Spew-ed it, and is translating the dances and [difficult] commentary line by line.
Santucci has explicit step descriptions. Earlier, Greg described an out-of-the-ordinario: L little hop (saltarello), R little hop, L hop with toe up, and lower toe. But Greg doesn't remember that, now.
