Of Eton books there were in use the _Latin and Greek Grammars_; Pindar's
_Olympian and Pythian Odes_; _Scriptores Græci et Romani_. A complete list

Catalogue_, which enrols _Vidæ de Arte Poeticâ_; Trapp's _Prælectiones
Poetica_, and the _Rise, &c. of Poetry and Fine Arts in Ancient Rome_, as
Winchester school-books.
In 1512, Winchester and Eton had a common grammar. Hugh Lloyd, D.C.L., Head
Master, A.D. 1580-1602, wrote _Dictata_ and _Phrases Elegantiores_ for the
use of the school. William Horman, M.A., Head Master of Winchester,
1495-1502, and Eton, 1489-1495, wrote _Vulgaria puerorum_.
Hugh Robinson, D.D., Head Master, wrote _Prayers_ and _Latin Phrases_ for
the school. It is almost superfluous to name Bishop Ken's _Manual for
Winchester Scholars_, edited by Dr. Moberly, the present excellent Head
Master, some years since.
