Impr. 11: 1607: sm. 4o: pp. [34], signn. A-D4, ( )1: sign. B 1r beg. profero clarâ: English Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1r title: A 2r-A 2v, dedication to dr. Tho. Holland, signed “Jo. Prideaux”: A 3r-B 3v “In Isocratis Busiridem de Græcæ linguæ studio, Præfatio”: B 4r-D 4v “Grammatices Græcæ. Σχεδάρια.”, the work in six sections: ( ) 1r “Conclusio ad Lectorem,” and short epigram.
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 267 where the date 1608 may be an error for 1607: and 1629 P, 1639 P, both of which edd. supply the date of the dedication as “1 Jan. 1607 = 1607
8,” but are otherwise apparently simply reprints. The dedication declares that the work was due to the suggestion of dr. Holland, and done in the last Whitsuntide holidays (1606).
