	First Grammatical Treatise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The First Grammatical Treatise was of great interest to some mid-20th century linguists, since it systematically used the technique of minimal pairs to establish the inventory of distinctive sounds or phonemes in the Icelandic language, in a manner reminiscent of the methods of structural linguistics.
		It is a grammatical work dealing with Old Norse, in the tradition of Latin and Greek grammatical treatises, generally dated to the late 12th century, though some have dated it to the early 13th because many authors have wanted to attribute it to Snorri Sturluson.
		The Treatise is important for the study of Old Norse, as it is a major text showing the state of the language just prior to the age of the Norse Sagas.

		First, then, it will be objected that by the foregoing principles all that is real and substantial in nature is banished out of the world, and instead thereof a chimerical scheme of ideas takes place.
		First, therefore, it was thought that colour, figure, motion, and the rest of the sensible qualities or accidents, did really exist without the mind; and for this reason it seemed needful to suppose some unthinking substratum or substance wherein they did exist, since they could not be conceived to exist by themselves.
		It is natural to think that at first, men, for ease of memory and help of computation, made use of counters, or in writing of single strokes, points, or the like, each whereof was made to signify an unit, i.e., some one thing of whatever kind they had occasion to reckon.

		Indian linguistic theory set out three requirements for a string of words to be considered a sentence: (1) (ākānksā) the words are members of suitable grammatical categories with appropriate morphology (inflection), (2) (yogyatā) the words must be 'semantically appropriate' to one another, (3) (samnidhi) and the words must be uttered as a concatenation.

		The first three of the surviving books De lingua latina deal with etymology, and Amsler (1989: 25) notes that Varro developed "the first comprehensive etymological model for the study of the Latin or Greek language", which would greatly influence medieval grammar and lexicography.

		The principal grammatical authorities followed in the Latin West up to the eleventh century were the manuals of Priscian and Donatus with Servius on Donatus, and the grammatical treatises of Cassiodorus, Isidore and Bede, as well as the commentary on Donatus by Remigius of Auxerre (d.908) (Sandys 1921: I, 665).

	Aristotle's Metaphysics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		First, in Metaphysics Γ Aristotle argues in a new way for the ontological priority of substance; and then, in Books Ζ, Η, and Θ, he wrestles with the problem of what it is to be a substance.
		The first three candidates are taken up in later chapters, and Ζ.3 is devoted to an examination of the fourth candidate: the idea that the substance of something is a subject of which it is predicated.
		First, Aristotle's point at 1030a11 is not that a species is an essence, but that an essence of the primary kind corresponds to a species (e.g., man) and not to some more narrowly delineated kind (e.g., pale man).

	Palladio - Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio :::
		It may be that Trissino himself saw the parallel between linguistic structure and a structured approach to architectural design; alternatively Palladio by a process of intellectual osmosis, helped by his reading of Vitruvius and Alberti, may have transferred Trissino's view of the relation between literary style and linguistic rules to architecture.
		His architecture in any case assumed a linguistic and grammatical character, which consciously or unconsciously was recognised and approved by humanist intellectuals, like his friend and patron Daniele Barbaro.
		The first of the major palaces with which Palladio was involved, the palazzo Thiene, was begun in 1542 for Marcantonio Thiene and his brother, the richest individuals in the city at that time.
