Good books on learning counterpoint, polyphony, and general musical form of the Renaissance and Baroque?

My current backlog is
>Study Of Fuge by Alfred Mann
>Continuo Playing According To Handel

But I want a larger pool of information when it comes to this subject, preferably from the periods this music was written in, so 13th to 18th century.
inb4 >why didnt you ask on /mu/?
Because /mu/ is fucking retarded and has no knowledge on music theory or history and are smug in their lack of any knowledge or intellect in this subject, I trust you guys just a little bit more when it comes to this

Depends, what is your current level of theory? My gut feeling is that you have little to none.

I have basic understanding of theory, although somewhat limited. I am seeking to expand my knowledge on it.

the "suggestions for futher reading" section your händel book has all the necessary pointers, i just checked myself. mann also must have a bibliography. sapienti sat

modern textbooks for that style of cp:
schubert - modal cp
gauldin - practical approach to 16th century cp

schubert covers less but more intense, stops at four parts while gauldin covers five and more parts.

Baroque Music by Claude V. Palisca. Doesn't hyper-focus on Bach like a lot of other books, and delves quite deep into Monteverdian+Palestrinian counterpoint and polyphony and how that came to pass the next ~200 years or so.
