Source: 
Santucci, Maestro da Ballo (c. 1614)
Full name of step in source: 
Rule 112. Meza Capriola di passo in aria. p99
Translation of name: 
Half capriol with foot in the air
Translation: 

[illegible - finding?] the left foot raised in front, as in figure 24, lift yourself from the ground and jump up, and in rising thrust the right foot forwards, that [illegible - was?] on the ground, and draw back the left, and slice it three times, as in Rule 99. That done, allow yourself to fall lightly on the ground on the left toes, and raising the right in front. This can also be done per contrario. It is so called because you begin with one foot in the air, and you finish with one foot in the air.
