Here's the full title: Epigrammatum delectus ex omnibus tum veteribus, tum recentioribus poetis, accurate decerptus cum dissertatione de vera pulchritudine & adumbrata in qua ex certis principiis, reiectionis et selection is epigrammatum causae redduntur; adjectae sunt elegantes sententiae ex antiquis poetis parce, sed severiore judicio, selectae: cum brevioribus sententiis ac proverbiis ex autoribus graecis & latinis quibus subjungitur alterius delectus specimen ex nuperis maxime poetis ab electoribus praetermissis. This is another of the books prepared for the schoolboys of Eton: in usum scholae Etonensis. There is a list of authors, and it includes quite a few modern authors. There are notes in Latin accompany the poem, and sometimes a Latin paraphrase is provided as well. The epigrams are arranged by author, with a generous selection from Martial first, followed by the other classical and neo-Latin poets.
