Manuscript pages from Diego de Freyle, 1588 -
This manuscript resides in the Folger Shakespeare Library
in Washington, D.C. It was purchased from the University of
Madrid in 1972 along with another manuscript by Martin de
Anduxar from 1640.
The manuscript consists of 74 pages, 48 of which contain
patterns. The format is very similar to Alcega.
A translation to the patterns is underway and should be available
in late December. Any text listed with the patterns that is
contained in fancy parentheses {} indicates a word not yet
translated out.
The above patterns represent only a small portion of what
is contained in the Freyle manuscript. More will be added
as time allows.
