Online counterpoint materials?

Question

For a long time I've wanted to teach myself counterpoint, but haven't been able to find any materials online. Are there any hidden tutorials anyone knows of, or good books written in English in the public domain online? Any kind of counterpoint is fine. I just want to start learning.

Here's an early 20th century slim text, C. H. Kitson's brief introduction, available at archive.org https://archive.org/details/dli.ernet.169578/page/20/mode/2up

Hello! It'd be best to start with species counterpoint - here's a link to help with that:

Here's another resource: https://viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusictheory/part/fundamentals/

The Fux Gradus Ad Parnassum book is the classic text on counterpoint, so perhaps you can find translated bits of that online somewhere.

This is the text I used when taking counterpoint: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0028721454/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0

Hopefully this helps!
