[ESTIENNE (STEPHANUS), HENRI]: De latinitate falso suspecta, expostulatio ... De plauti latinitate dissertatio, & ad lectionem illius progymnasma, 1576.
Pp. (xvi), 400. Modern calf backed boards. Signature of A. Fletcher of Saltoun on title page. First edition of Estienne's first attack on Ciceronianism, to be followed by two other works on the subject in 1577 and 1578, forming an anti-Ciceronioan triology. "In this book Estienne demonstrates that some Latin words, although suspect by the Ciceronians, because they appear superficially to derive from French, are actually well attested in ancient Latin texts. Estienne's striking analogies between Latin and French make this work a sort of 'Conformité du francais avec le latin'". Schreiber 198. Renouard p. 144, no. 3.
