Raoul-Auger Feuillet, (c.1675—c.1710), French dancer, dancing master, and choreographer whose dance notation system was published in his Chorégraphie ou l’art de décrire la danse (1700; “Choreography, or the Art of Describing the Dance”). Working in Paris, he collaborated with André Lorin, conductor of the Royal Academy of Dance; he also wrote Recueil de danses (1704; “Collection of Dances”), describing dances performed at the Paris Opéra.
-- From Feuillet's entry in the Encyclopedia Britannica.

This book consists mostly of dance descriptions, in the form of full-page diagrams with little text. The diagrams are explained in the long introduction.

Only the tunes have been transcribed here. The book has 2-4 bars at the top of each page, with the diagrams for those bars filling the rest of the page.

File names are of the form PP_Title-abc, where PP is the first page number for the dance, the title has underscores for the spaces.
