- Talbot: Notebook
- Scope & Content:
-
Starting with 'Latin trial' this exercise book contains distinct but related entries on left and right pages. Pages on the left contain definitions of characters and places in Greek mythology, notes on history and grammatical rules in Latin and Greek. Pages on the right are short extracts of printed Latin verses with comments written in Latin, and English translations of single words. Right and left pages seem related, with entries on the left explaining the characters and places referred to on the right. After the middle of the notebook there are very few handwritten notes. This notebook contains more Latin than Greek. The notebook might have served as an exercise book for commentary on literary sources.
