PROLOGUS
Decem abhinc annis ex optimo meo amico librum dono accepi quendam, in quo colloquia
erant et uocabularia uel uerborum catalogi scripta tabulisque digesta. Mirum!, inquam, non
tantum quo is liber iam plus quam unum sæculum ageret, sed quod tribus simul linguis,
et hispanice et latine et græce, editus. Ætate uexatus liber tamen etiam tunc legi quidem
commode poterat, opus autem ei aliqua erat refectione.
Iussi eum refieri, et refectum libenter librum sæpenumero legi et perlegi. Tunc mihi oc-
currit eo ex libro me grammaticen ad colloquendum posse conscribere paruam, ut alii, Lat-
inum Græcumque diligentes sermonem, etiam hanc mecum communicare scientiam possent.
Tempus attamen præteribat, quamobrem sensi, ut aiunt, prouinciam a me maiorem exspecta-
tione durioremque suscipi. Opus tandem constitui simplicius efficere, uidelicet libri colloquia
et transcribere et rescribere, quia non exigua eis necesse recensio emendatioque. Nonnul-
las feci permutationes, aliquas addidi sententias vel locutiones, itaque ecce coram uobis, o
exoptati lectores, hic fructus e nisu conatuque et molimine meo.
Gratæ utinam uobis atque utiles sint hæc rescriptæ, recensæ, emendatæ additæque col-
loquendi formulæ, et eis prosint qui pulcerrimæ linguæ et Latinæ et Græcæ studeant.

ΠΡΟΛΟΓΟΣ
Πλείω μὲν δέκα ἐτῶν ἐστιv ἐξ’ οὗ παρὰ βελτίστου φίλου μου βιβλίον τι ἐδεξάμην κατὰ
δωρεάν, ἐν ᾧ ποικίλαι τῆς ὁμιλίας ῥῆτραι ἦσαν καὶ συγγεγραμμένα λεξικά τε καὶ πίναξι
κατεσκευασμένα. Θαυμαστὸν δέ, ἔφην, οὐ μόνον ὅτι τὸ βιβλίον ἦν ἑκατονταέτες, ἀλλὰ καὶ
διότι ἐν τρισὶ γλώτταις, τῇ ἱσπανικῇ καὶ τῇ ῥωμαϊκῇ τε καὶ τῇ ἑλληνικῇ ἐστιν ἐκδεδομένον.
Καίπερ πολλῆς ὄντος τῆς τοῦ βιβλίου παλαιότητος, ἔτι μήν ἀναγνωσθῆναι τοῦτο δύναται
ἀχαλεπῶς, ἦν δ’ ἐπισκευαστέον. Τὸ ἐπισκευαστὸν ἤδη βιβλίον ἑκούσιος πολλάκις ἀνέγνων
καὶ κατανέγνων, καὶ τότε ἐνενόησα ὅτι ἐκ τούτου τοῦ ἔργου μικρὰν γραμματικὴν εἰς τὸ
διαλέγεσθαι δύναμαι συγγράφειν, ἵνα ἄλλοι τὴν ῥωμαϊκήν τε καὶ τὴν ἑλληνικὴν γλῶτταν
φιλοῦντες ταύτης μετέχωσι τῆς μαθήσεως. Ὁ χρόνος ὅμως παρήρχετο, καὶ ἔγωγε κατεῖδον ὅτι
ἔργον μεῖζον ἢ τὸ κατ’ ἐμὲ ἐπεχείρησα. Ἔδοξ’ οὖν μοι ἔργον ἁπλούστερον ποιῆσαι, τουτέστι
τὰς τῆς ὁμιλίας ῥήτρας ἀπογράφειν καὶ μεταγράφειν, διότι χρῆ οὐκ ὀλίγας με διορθῶσαι.
Ἐνίας δὲ μεταβολὰς ἐποίησα καὶ ῥήτρας προσέθηκα καὶ ἰδού, ὦ φίλτατοι ἀναγνῶσται, ὅδε
ἐστὶν ὁ τῆς σπουδῆς μου ὁ καρπός. Εἰ γὰρ κεχαρισμέναι εἶεν ὑμῖν καὶ χρησταὶ αὗται αἱ
μεταγεγραμμέναι διωρθωμέναι τε καὶ προστεθειμέναι τῆς ὁμιλίας ῥῆτραι, καὶ τούτοις ὠφε-
λοῖεν οἳ ἐπὶ ταῖς καλλίσταις γλώτταις διατρίβουσι τῇ ῥωμαϊκῇ τε καὶ ἑλληνικῇ.
