Fascinating to reflect on what is the same and different between this classic Authorized Grammar -- in theory the only legal one to use to teach grammar from Henry VIII's royal decree to the desuetude of the 1604 Canon Laws sometime in the 19th century -- and modern Latin teaching. We're still teaching the paradigms, though maybe not in the same order -- but rarely do we cover the "concordances" or principles of syntax as Lily does, and we leave students to memorize as they go or just figure out the principles of stem formation or determining noun gender that Lily teaches (occasionally imperfectly) in "Propria quae Maribus" or "As in Praesenti." Of course, another rather significant difference is that we do not write half of our grammars in Latin! (Though if you look at the pedagogy of modern languages this would not be considered anything unusual.) If you want some sense of how a skilled Renaissance pedagogue might have taught from this book, see John Brinsley's Ludus Literarius.

[Royce Ratterman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read for a Shakespeare related course and in conjunction with my English History studies.
Overall, I found this work of immense interest - a good work for the researcher and enthusiast also.
This work may prove to be one of my future resources for ghost authoring novels for E.MH. Ratterman.
I found this play's contents inspiring - number rating relates to the book's contribution to my needs.
