It has to be a misprint, because there is no other musical term that fits other than adagio.
Just finished a wonderful book called "Heresy" by S.J. Parris. This is a new author for me, who apparently was a contributing journalist for the Observer and the Guardian. The novel is set late in Queen Elizabeth I reign and has an excommunicant monk named Giordano Bruno placed in an Oxford University house by Walshingham to ferret out secretly practicing Catholics. A little bit slow in the beginning but the pace picked up quickly. There is potential for a series of books with this character, along with the usual historical cast. I enjoyed it.
