Others have attributed to the dance an Italian origin, and viewed pavana as reduced from Padovana ‘Paduan’ (which occurs in A. Rotta 1546); a 17th c. MS. collection of airs and dances by Dowland, Holborne, and others, in Camb. Univ. Lib., Dd. 4. 23 contains (near the end) a piece entitled Padouana de la Milanessa. But the phonetic difficulties in identifying the two words are serious; and they are prob. distinct terms, which may afterwards have sometimes been confused by those who knew the history of one of them only: cf. e.g. J. B. Besardus Thesaur. Harmon. (Cologne 1604) Pref. |
