Who knew that practicing Latin grammar might be the key to family harmony on #Thanksgiving? Percival Leigh has helpful hints to ensure 'relatives agree' in his illustrated Comic Latin Grammar (London, 1840).

Anyone know how common it is to see copies of Lily's Grammar interleaved and annotated in this way? A quick search reveals a few other 17th- and 18th-century examples. @coffeeanddonatus.bsky.social, any thoughts?
Love this, from a Latin grammar annotated by a father for his son in 1747. 'Arma Virumque cano, quoth Virgil, a very honest sort of a Gentleman'.

A wonderful, likely Italian, 13th-century Latin grammar fragment. The author remains unidentified, but the text reflects Priscian's influence and references Aristotelian ideas. Once part of the Marvin L. Colker Collection, it was sold at auction recently and is now in a private collection.
