Note 914 — Chapter X
Reading edition
In the British Museum is a book by one Guillon, of whom I find no account in biography, called Gnomon, on the quantity of Greek syllables. This seems to be the earliest work of the kind; and he professes himself to write against those who think quidvis licere in quantitate syllabarum. It is printed at Paris, 1556; and it appears by Watts that there are other editions.
