Summary
A prose grammar in which Italian words used to illustrate parts of speech or grammatical features are often translated into English. Gabriel Harvey writes at the end of his copy (now at the Henry E. Huntington Library): "No finer, pithier Examples, then in ye Excellent Comedies, & Tragedies following: full of sweet, & wise Discourse. A notable Dictionarie, for the Grammer." (155)
