Analysis of Content
a1v Calphurnius Brixiensis, [Johannes: Prefatory letter addressed to] Antonius Moretus Brixiensis. Incipit: ‘[Q]uae ad altioris disciplinae cognitionem pertinere videntur . . .’ See P‑122.
a2r Perottus, Nicolaus: Rudimenta grammatices [dedicated to] Pyrrhus Perottus. Incipit: ‘[D]a litteras. A. B. C . . .’ See P‑110. To the lists of Latin words French glosses have been added after the Italian ones. Greek words and phrases printed in Greek characters; the same characteristics are found in Gering's other edition bearing the same date (C 4682), discussed in K. Rosen, ‘On the Publication of the Rudimenta Grammatices in France', Res Publica Litterarum, 4 (1981), 265-71, at 268. Rosen does not include this edition; nor does Milde, ‘Zur Druckhäufigkeit'; Percival, ‘Early Editions', 221 mistakingly associates the Pr number of this edition (Pr 7862) with the other Gering's edition bearing the same date (C 4682, Hillard 1546).
