Prosodia Latina, regulis brevissime comprehensa, editio nova, cui accessere generales regulae Quantitatis Nominum propriorum. Ad usum collegiorum. (Latin Prosody, with the most concise rules, a new edition, to which are added the general rules for the Quantity of Proper Nouns. For the use of colleges.)Description
This is a book on Latin prosody, which is the study of Latin poetry and its laws of meter. It was probably made for college students to carry with them.
This book belongs to a pair of French schoolbooks from the 18th century, each in recycled manuscript vellum wrappers (the other one is Publii Ovidii Nasonis Metamorphoseon).
The binding derives from a vellum mass-book or similar of large format (perhaps to be dated 1500-1600, with four-line musical staves in red), evidencing two grades of script
stab-sewn at binding.Other Names and Numbers
