The, first Greek grammar written in Latin by Bolzanio at the behest, of his friend Aldus Manutius, who published the first edition, (without permission, apparently) in 1497. Bolzanio, a, well-known Greek scholar who tutored Leonardo de Medici's son,, the future Pope Leo X, later revised and enlarged the grammar., It was his most important work, a Renaissance tour de force, in, which he describes the nouns, verbs and parts of speech of, Greek in Latin. The book is full of charts of declensions, etc., , and the typesetting work must have been staggering. This 1530, edition contains a preface of the Golden Words of Pythagoras, with interlinear Greek and Latin. A handsome copy of this, important Renaissance Greek grammar, immensely popular in the, early 1500s, this edition quite scarce. In Latin with lots of, Greek.
