Gramercy and I thank you and thee . . .’ Alternates with lemmata from Terence's plays. This compilation is ascribed to John Anwykyll by Sharpe, Latin Writers, no. 565. N.

Imprint: [Oxford: Theodoricus Rood, not after 1483]. 4°.
Remarks: Dating from the evidence of the Bodleian second copy, which is bound in a contemporary binding, with other items, and with the buyer's date of 1483 written in an inscription on the endleaf; see A‑021(3). Duff suggests that this item was probably issued together with John Anwykyll, Compendium totius grammaticae (A‑358).
