Spelling?[edit]

"nihilishet" - what is this? Anyone? It doesn't look like any Latin word that I know... Hackloon 03:45, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The corresponding words in the 1911 Britannica are "collectively published". The point of this is unclear, since many of the works then published had of course been published much earlier, individually.

But there's a lot more than that wrong here. Some other of the spelling is butchered, for one thing. It should be Absolutissimus-- and more fully Absolutissimus de octo orationis partium constructione libellus. "A Most Perfect Little Book Upon the Construction of the Eight Parts of Speech".

More importantly, this work was clearly not Colet's alone-- see Foster Watson's The English Grammar Schools to 1660, p. 248 ff. It is clear that the Absolutissimus incorporated material from Lilye and from Erasmus.

The Rudimenta in question is probably the Rudimenta Grammatices et Docenti Methodus, which seems to incorporate material not only from Colet and Lilye, but also from Thomas Wolsey (yep, that Wolsey).

The best thing to do, I think, is to be much less specific about these works...

School[edit]

Should some mention be made of "The John Colet" - A secondary School named after him in Wendover, Bucks --Charlesknight 19:14, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bust by Torrigiano / cast at Mercers' Hall / drawing by Holbein[edit]

I've compiled a short note on the Torrigiano bust and its cast for the article on Holbein's portrait drawings:
→ List of portrait drawings by Hans Holbein the Younger#John Colet
Short as it is, it's still probably a bit too detailed to be included here in its entirety, so I'll leave it for you to decide what to do with it.
P.S.
I've also uploaded two manuscript illuminations with somewhat generic representations of Colet as a donor: 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b.
