Abstract:

The book makes available the earliest surviving text in English of the
sixteenth-century Latin grammar generally attributed to William Lily (c.1468 -
c.1523), the grammarian, scholar, and first headmaster of St Paul's School.
The compilation became, by royal acclamation, the first and only authorized
text for the teaching of Latin in grammar schools and remained so until ousted
by Kennedy's primer in the first half of the nineteenth century. During this
period it had a profound influence not only on the study and teaching of
Latin, but on the understanding of grammar and language more generally.
Subsequent grammatical treatises in English were influenced by it in shaping
grammatical rules and terms, and so too were methods of language teaching.

The 1542 version is presented here by Hedwig Gwosdek in a scrupulously and
helpfully prepared edition. Dr Gwosdek has prefaced it with chapters on the
text's grammatical and pedagogical origins, composition, and subsequent
history. She also includes a text on accidence and construction which mainly
emerged from the tradition of the English grammatical manuscripts and the
early printed grammars.

This fascinating work will interest scholars and advanced students of the
English Renaissance as well as those interested in the histories of English
linguistics, education, and early modern English.
