	Cato the Elder - Wikipedia Mirror
		Cato's enmity dated from the African campaign when he quarrelled with Scipio for his lavish distribution of the spoil amongst the troops, and his general luxury and extravagance.
		Cato was also opposed to the spread of Hellenic culture, which he believed threatened to destroy the rugged simplicity of the conventional Roman type.

		The Distichs of Cato (Latin: Catonis Disticha, most famously known simply as Cato), is a Latin collection of proverbial wisdom and morality by an unknown author named Dionysius Cato from the 3rd or 4th century AD.
		Cato was the most popular Latin textbook during the Middle Ages, prized not only as a Latin textbook, but as a moral compass for impressionable students.
		He cites Cato in Poor Richard's Almanac and believed in the moral advice with such fervor he was troubled to print William Logan's translation called Cato's Moral Distichs Englished in Couplets in 1735, the first in the Colonies.

		The qualities implied in the word Cato were acknowledged by the plainer and less oudated title of Sapiens, by which he was so well known in his old age, that Cicero says, it became his virtual cognomen.
		According to the coherent chronology of Cicero Cato was born in 234 BC, in the year before the first consulship of Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, and died at the age of 85, in the consulship of Lucius Marcius Censorinus and Manius Manilius.
		Cato advises on hiring gangs for the olive harvest, and was noted for his chilling advice on keeping slaves continually at work, on reducing rations for slaves when sick, and on selling slaves that are old or sickly.

	CATON (1) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Cato was the supposed author of Disticha de moribus ad filium, known also as Ethica Catonis, Liber Catonianus, and Disticha Catonis, written probably in the third or fourth century A.D. The work served as a Latin grammar as well as an introduction to ethics, its aim being to teach the four cardinal virtues.
		The Liber Catonianus was an anthology, or florilegium, containing pieces by Cato, Avianus, Theodolus, Maximianus, Statius, and Claudian; Cato was thus one of the curriculum authors taught in the schools.
		The Franklin's "Lerneth to suffre" is a paraphrase of Distich I.38, FranklT 773-777.

	Cato ("Catoun" or "Dionysius Cato") (general note) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Old John knew not Cato, for he had never been to school; the "Distichs" (closed couplets) of Cato were far and away the most popular elementary textbooks in schools during the early Middle Ages and beyond.
		The Cato of the Distichs was not Cato the Censor nor Cato Uticensis, though the work may have been attributed to the former by way of adding authority to the collection (just as collections of Middle English proverbs were attributed to King Alfred).
		The introductory monostichs and the distichs are here given in the edition by Wayland Johnson Chase, Univ. of Wisconsin Studies in the Social Sciences and History, Number 7, 1922 [WID Lc 25 42].

		Abstract: Mendoza: The Educational Authority and Argumentative Use of the Distichs of Cato in the B-Text of Piers Plowman
		This paper examines three quotations from Cato’s Distichs spoken by the dream narrator and Reason, whose knave is identified as Cato himself in Piers Plowman.
		Langland’s quotations from the Distichs bring to bear within his mind a reexamination of the ancient, “proverbial” morality of Cato and sometimes anxieties consequently surround the Christianization of the secular and self-interested morality promoted by Cato.

		It was, as Franklin styled it, "Very proper to be Put in the Hands of Young Persons," for it was the book most often used in the grammar schools of America, and it held that position throughout the century.

		Excerpts from Claudian were then found in the schoolboy's reading list, in a school reader including the Distichs of Cato and the Fables of Avianus.
		Chaucer would not have known a separate edition of Claudian's poems but rather would have become acquainted with him through excerpts found in the Liber Catonianus, an anthology containing the Distichs of Cato, the Fables of Avianus, pieces by Statius, Maximianus, and the De raptu Proserpinae by Claudian.
		The version of De raptu in the Liber Catonianus was an edition of the classical text with its two prefaces, to which medieval editors had added a preface to the third book.

	Mum and the Sothsegger: Introduction
		No less an authority than "Cato" - pseudonymous author of the Distichs of Cato whose sayings appear several times in Mum - championed speaking little.
		Probably the best known of Cato's adages (1.3 of Cato major) proclaims, "I think the first virtue is to guard your tongue: he is close to God who can be advisedly silent." Every medieval schoolchild encountered this and other distichs of Cato among their very first exposures to studying Latin.
		Yet in Mum those who are guarded in their speech get no credit for it: they are time-servers, men too timid or duplicitous to speak the truth forthrightly and sincerely.

		Garland's _Textus_ is mostly Latin; but in the last composition of his life, the forty-two distiches entitled _Cornutus_, 'one on the horns of a dilemma', he is mainly occupied with Greek words adopted into Latin: using of course Latin characters.
		The construction of the distich is then given: 'Hail, sacred queen, whose son is the lover of men; through thee divine and heavenly glory comes to us.' Again: 'Clauiculis firmis theos antropos impos et ir mis Figor ob infirmi cosmos delicta, patir mi.' Impos = in pedibus.
		By 1500 more than 160 editions had been printed, of the whole or of various parts, and in the next twenty years there were nearly another hundred, before it was superseded by more modern compositions, such as Linacre's grammar, which held the field throughout Europe for a great part of the sixteenth century.
