SCHOOLBOOKS

[14] Æsop’s fables (English and Latin) / ed. C. Hook (2s.)

19 Institutio Graeca grammatices / William Camden (18d.)

Cf. Pauline Holmes, A Tercentenary History of the Boston Public Latin School, IÓ3S-I93S (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1935), 340. This is the most widely used Greek grammar; Richard Busby’s is also possible, though Mather Byles’s copy, cited by Ms. Holmes, seems to be an 18th-century abridgment.

[18] Catonis Disticha / ed. C. Hoole (10d.)

Includes the Dicta septem sapientium / Seven Sages and the Sententie (English and Latin) of Publilius Syrus.

7 De officiis J Marcus Tullius Cicero (16d.)

8 EpistoU (Selections) / Marcus Tullius Cicero; ed. J. Sturm (6d.)

6 Orationes (Selections) / Marcus Tullius Cicero (18d.)

A Harvard copy of the 1700 ed. has the signature of Samuel Plaisted (A.B. 1715) dated 1710/11.

5 Janna linguarum / Johann Amos Comenius (6d.)

5 Janua trilinguis / Johann Amos Comenius (3s.)

[14] School colloquies / Maturin Cordier; ed. C. Hoole (2s.)

43 *Sententiae pueriles / Leonhard Culmann; ed. C. Hoole (8d.)

11 * = Nomenclatura brevis / Francis Gregory (1s.)

14 Lillies rules construed / William Hayne

2 Wing L2268, etc.; bound with William Lily’s Short introduction of grammar (16d.)

[74] The common accidence examined and explained / Charles Hoole (8d.)

“Accidence”: Hoole’s (2 Wing H2674, etc.) seems the likeliest text. A Harvard copy of the 1657 edition of Hoole belonged to Elisha and Mid-dlecott Cooke, both of whom attended Boston Latin; it is bound with Hoole’s Terminationes et exempla declinationum & conjugationum, and a separate edition of his translation of Lily’s Propria que maribus, in contemporary sheep, as issued. The quarto accidences imported by Usher in 1685 (Ford, Boston Book Market, 149) must be John Brinsley’s (2Wing B4699-4703), though the last quarto ed. was in 1669. Brinsley went out of print with a 15th ed. in 1687, and Usher’s valuation is less than half Perry’s.

[74] Terminationes et exempla declinationum & conjugationum / Charles Hoole

Bound with his Common accidence examined, as issued (8d.); post-Restoration editions include his translation of Lily’s Propria quae maribus.

[43] Brevissima institutio grammatices / William Lily

Bound, as issued, with his Short introduction of grammar (1s.-16d.)

[43] Short introduction of grammar / William Lily (ls.-16d.)

Bound, as issued, with Lily’s Brevissima institutio grammatices; includes 14 copies @ 16d. “with construing books,” i.e., Lilies rules construed, by William Hayne (a Clark Library copy dated 1678 and a Harvard copy dated 1685–87 are so bound).

4 Metamorphoses / Ovid (2s.)

Harvard has a copy of the 1684 ed., with the signature of Joshua Moody (A.B. 1707)

5 Tristia j Ovid; ed. Jan Minell (8d.)

Harvard has a copy of the 1697 ed., with the signature of John Tufts (A.B. 1708) dated 1702.

12 * England’s perfect schoolmaster / Nathaniel Strong (1s.)

7 Virgil / variorum (1s.)

20 Complete English scholar / Edward Young, schoolmaster (10d.)

BIBLES, PSALTERS, ETC.

4 Bible (Latin) (6s.)

3 New Testament (16d.)

8 New Testament (Latin) (18d.)
