Description

First published in 1513, this Latin grammar was a mainstay in English schools for more than two centuries. Latin remained the cornerstone of grammar-school education throughout this period. Lily (1468–1522) was modest about his contributions, saying that he hoped his grammar might make study “a lytle more easy to yonge wyttes.”
