Corderius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corderius is the latinized form of name used by Mathurin Cordier (born c. 1480; died September 8, 1564 in Geneva). He was a French schoolmaster, a native of Normandy or Perche. He possessed special tact and liking for teaching children and taught first at Paris, where John Calvin was among his pupils, and, after a number of changes, finally at Geneva.
He wrote several books for children; the most famous is his Colloquia (Colloquiorum scholasticorum libri quatuor), which has passed through innumerable editions, and was used in schools for three centuries after his time.
He also wrote:
- Principia Latine loquendi scribendique, sive selecta quaedam ex Epistolis Ciceronis
- De Corrupti Sermonis apud Gallos Emendatione et Latine loquendi Ratione
- De Corrupti Sermonis Emendatione Libellus
- De syllabarum quantitate
- Conciones sacrae viginti rex Galliae
- Catonis disticha de moribus (with Latin and French translation)
- Remontrances et exhortations au roi et aux grands de son royaume
