Kurt Petermenn, the general editor of the facsimile edition, calls Taubert "... the first systematizer of dance, who painstakingly surveyed the entire vast field of Tanzkunst according to rational principles". Taubert's immense treatise consist of three books. Book I is concerned primarily with the history of dance and its status as a social activity. Book III is concerned primarily with the métier of the dancing master, and the occasions and customs connected with social dance. Book II addresses the art of dancing itself, and it is longer than the other two books put together. The discussion of the minuet begins just after the midpoint of the whole treatise; in fact the two volumes of the facsimile edition are divided at Taubert's notated choreography of the menuet ordinaire. Literally and figuratively, the minuet is at the center of Taubert's cosmos.
