Then the lady turns to him who is on her right hand, and giving one another right hands, they do the same riverenza as above.

Then all three do in a circle two passi and a trapassino, and they do this same thing together and in a circle, three times.

And then they do a doppio turning to the left hand, and another to the right hand, all three of them, but not, however, breaking the circle.

Then follows the treccia of 12 passi in traverso between them all, in such a way that each of them comes to do four of them. And thus it begins.

12:23:15-17

Ma prima d(e)bbi sapere ch(e) q(ua)n(do) dai la ma(n) ritta d(e)bbi muouere il pie opostogli cioe il pie mancho uolendo ch(e) ti riescha il passo i(n) trauerso

But first, you must know that when you give the right hand, you must move the foot opposite to it, that is, the left foot, wishing to perform the passo in traverso.

12:23:17-18

et da(n)do la ma(n) mancha co(n) essa d(e)bbi muouere il pie ritto

And giving the left hand, with this you must move the right foot.

I say, then, that thus in the beginning, the lady first gives the right hand to him who is on the left hand, and he to her, and thus together they do a passo in traverso, and they end up almost having changed places.

And thus they go, continuing, taking care not to fail in this rule: that he who is in the middle always gives the hand that is there, and thus they go, continuing in such a way that each one, as has been said, will have done 4 passi in traverso, and in the end, each one returns to his place.

12:23:27
12:24:1-2

dipoi tutti faccino dua sempi e q(uest)o i(n) cerchio p(er)ch(e) fatto la d(e)tta treccia cosi si ritrouerranno
