Reading edition

See Laude Spirituali di Feo Belcari e di Altri, Firenze, 1863. The hymn Crocifisso a capo chino, for example, has this heading: "Cantasi come—Una donna d'amor fino," which was by no means a moral song (ib. p. 16). D'Ancona in his Poesia Pop. It. pp. 431-436, has extracted the titles of these profane songs, some of which are to be found in the Canzoni a Ballo (Firenze, 1568), and Canti Carnascialeschi (Cosmopoli, 1750), while the majority are lost.
