ASCHAM, Roger (1515-1568). The scholemaster or plaine and perfite way of teaching children, to understand, write, and speake, the Latin tong. London: John Daye, 1571. [Bound with:] — Toxophilus.

Second editions of The scholemaster and Toxophilus, first edition of A report and discourse, together in a contemporary binding. Crisp copies, with taller than usual margins, also including waste flyleaves from a late 15th-century English prayerbook with rubrics in Middle English. A notable scholar and tutor to Elizabeth I, Ascham’s writings had a great influence on educational theory. Toxophilus, the first book on archery written in English, ‘is remembered specifically as the standard authority on physical training as an essential part of a gentleman's education’, while The scholemaster is said to have ‘popularized the educational views of Renaissance Englishmen’ (ODNB). Pforzheimer 14; STC 834, 838, 830.
Quarto (195 x 142mm). Titles with woodcut borders, woodcut initials (endpapers torn, a few leaves lightly waterstained and thumb-soiled, occasional faint spotting, marginal tears in 3 leaves of second work). Contemporary vellum, titled ‘the arte of writing’ in a contemporary hand on spine, manuscript flyleaves (covers a little soiled, head of spine defective). Provenance: ‘Robert Davies’ (probably Robert Davies of Llannerch, North Wales, 1684–1728; inscription on first title and initials on others) — Lt. Col. P.R. Davies-Cooke, the Gwysaney Library [sold at auction in 1959 for £300] – other contemporary and later inscriptions to endpapers.
