Contains an apparently unpublished English translation of William Lily's 'Brevissima Institutio', which forms the second part of his 'A short introduction of grammar', the standard Elizabethan grammar. The present version comprises only the first two of the work's four sections, namely, those on 'Orthographie' and 'Etymologie'. Its language is an interesting example of academic Elizabethan English.

31 ff., folio manuscript.
