Abstract: A tutor for young German nobles, Antoine Cauchie is the author of a French grammar written in Latin. The exposition demonstrates a profound reflection on the language and the way it functions. The paratext repositions the work as part of the wider effort to codify French grammar in the sixteenth century.
