Synopsis

This book, a groundbreaking work from a scholar of the 16th Century, is a dictionary that uniquely sorts words based on their final syllable groupings. A revolutionary idea, it also notes the accents for words subject to variation based on accent position. This book is a significant contribution to the field of rhyming, and because it is set up as a dictionary, it makes it easier to compose metrical verse. It tracks the evolution of the English language, offering a valuable resource for scholars and a helpful tool for poets from the 16th century onward.
