LATIN GRAMMAR for English use, consisting apparently of two distinct treatises, the first on grammar in general, the second on the conjugation of verbs, although the two occur together also (still more imperfect) in Add. MS. 32425. The examples and translations are in English. Contents:
1. Treatise based on Donatus' Ars Minor, with large additions. The chief mediaeval authorities cited are Papias, Petrus Helias, Huguccio, themetrical Doctrinale of Alexander [de Villa Dei] and [Robert] Kilwardby [Archb. of Canterbury 1273-1278]. On f. 71 is quoted a distich made by a French clerk upon the King [John II] during his imprisonment in England, 'Cedo quid faxis qui firmis claudere saxis, Nam cordis laxis fit Gailia saucia taxis'. Beg. 'Partes oracionis quot sunt ? Octo. Que ? Nomen'. Ends 'potero excusare figuras', with colophon 'In domino pono finem laudes quoque fundo'. f. 2.
2. 'Hic exemplificat de declinacione verborum', &c. First example 'Amo, I love, as, at, et pluraliter'. Cites Huguccio and [Gulielmus] Brito. Imperf at end, breaking off in the last of the anomalous verbs 'edo, es, cuius prior corripitur est verbum'. . . f. 112.
At the end are written in a 17th cent. hand two pieces of Engl. verse entitled 'Melancholy' and 'Mirth', printed in Wright and Halliwell's Reliquiae Antiquae (1841), i, p.326. Halliwell's identification of the writing appears to be groundless. Beg. 'Alack, my very heart could bleed', and 'There was a mad Lad had an Acre of ground'. f. 160 b.
Vellum; ff. 161. 71/2 in. x 5 in. Middle of XV cent. Gatherings of 8 leaves (iii7), with catchwords. Sec. fol. 'Nomini quot'. One small illuminated initial, others in red and blue. Belonged to John Theyer 'de Cowper's Hill in com. ciuitatis Glouc. 19 Iun. A.D. 1641' (f. 1). Theyer sale-cat no. 236; CMA. 6668.
