III. The remaining contribution of Stanbridge to this class of literature is his _Vulgaria_, which I take to be the least known. Dibdin describes it somewhat at large, and it may be worth while to transfer a specimen hither:-- "_Sinciput, et vertex, caput, occiput, et coma, crinis._ =hoc sinciput, is=, the fore parte of the heed =hic vertex, cis=, for the crowne of the heed =hoc caput, is=, for a heed =hoc occiput, is=, the hynder parte of the heed =hec coma, e=, for a brisshe =hic crinis, nis=, for a heer * * * * * A garment a clothe idem apparayle =Hic indumentum= =vestis= =vestitus= =amictus= idem idem idem =Ornatus= =simul apparatus= =amiculus idem= a cappe agat: e idem =Ista caput gestat apex= =caliptra= =galerus= a cappe idem an hood idem =Biretum= =pilius= =cuculus= =capitiumq=; * * * * * _Vulgaria quedā cū suis vernaculis compilata iuxta consuetudinem ludi litterarij diui Pauli._ Good morowe. =Bonū tibi huius diei sit primordiū.= Good nyght. =Bona nox, tranquilla nox, optata requies, &c.= Scolers must lyue hardly at Oxford, =Scolasticos Oxonii parce viuere oportet.= My fader hath had a greate losse on the see. =Pater meus magnā p naufragiū iacturā habuit.= Wysshers and wolders be small housholders. =Affectatibus diuitias modicā hospitalitatē obseruant.=" The abridgments of Stanbridge's _Accidence_ led, I presume, to the distinction of the original text as the _Long Accidence_, although I have not personally met with more than a single edition of the work under such a title. Dibdin, however, has a story that John Bagford had heard of one printed at Tavistock, for which the said John "would have stuck at no price." The chief of these adaptations of the _Accidence_ is the _Parvulorum Institutio_, which I have described as probably emanating, in the first place, from the earliest press for the use of the earliest known school at Oxford. But it was reprinted with alterations by Stanbridge, and perhaps by John Holt. In Dibdin's account of one of these recensions he observes:-- "The work begins immediately on sign. A ij:-'What is to be done whan an englysshe is gyuen to be made in latyn? Fyrst the verbe must be loked out, and yf there be moo verbes than one in a reason, I must loke out the pryncypall verbe and aske this questyon who or what, and that word that answereth to the questyon shall be the nomynatyve case to the verbe. Except it be a verbe Impersonell the whiche wyll haue no nomynative case.' "On the last leaf but one we have as follows:-- =Indignus dignus obscenus fedus Cice. qq hecauditu acerbus.= acerba sunt.
