Notes: In the copy in Prontera 1, the Prima parte (the “theme”) appears at the end, on the verso of the Sesta parte, and is entitled Partite sopra Fedele. “Fedele” appears to be an alternative designation for “Folia,” in common use in Naples, although some scholars have claimed the Fedele scheme to be a variant of the Folia scheme.
