Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro

Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro (c. 1420 – c. 1484) was a Jewish Italian dancer and dancing master at some of the most influential courts in Renaissance Italy, including Naples, Urbino, Milan, and Ferrara.

In it, Guglielmo defends dancing as a noble art, emphasizing the important role of music.

He also describes qualities necessary for dancers, including posture, musicality, style, and memory, and provides first-hand accounts of massive court celebrations in which he played a role.

Alessandro Sforza was a very religious man, but perhaps also influenced Guglielmo's ability to access the dignity of Knight.

[clarification needed] In 1469 Guglielmo became a Knight of the Golden Spur, as had his teacher Domenico da Piacenza.
