About This Item
Antwerp: G. Smits for J. I Bellerus, 1573. 18th-century marbled calf (repaired), spine and red morocco label gilt, red edges.
Only Edition of his treatise aimed at instructors: his schoolbooks had over two hundred printings. The first part enunciates the general principles, goal and utility of teaching. The second and third parts lay out detailed templates for secular and religious education, including remarks on games, recreation, punishments, which Greek and Latin authors to read and how to explain them, which manuals to use, exercises in translation, imitation and recitation, how to draft and administer exams, competitions and learned disputes and how to mount dramatic performances. It discourages discussion of current events (the Turks, the French, beggars), ball playing, dice, archery, gambling, fighting, lying, swearing and drinking (the teachers...). It schematically frames the year's syllabus for each of the seven grades. I have located one copy in the U.S. In good condition (slightly browned).
