The 1st approved Paris ed., revised after the 1st authorized ed. (Freiburg, March 1531) of Erasmus’ compendium of Latin grammar and vocabulary, based on the "Elegantiae" of the Italian humanist Lorenzo Valla. This early work of Erasmus was 1st published, without his consent, at Cologne in 1529 by the Amsterdam teacher, and former Dutch secretary of Erasmus, Cornelius Crocus (1500-1550). In our edition the work is followed on pp. 185-227 by Crocus’ "Farrago sordidorum verborum, sive Augiae stabulum repurgatum", a textbook for Latin schools in Holland. Woodcut mark on title.
