Critics have accorded More a place in the development of English prose, praised various aspects of both his English and Latin, and discussed his abilities as a translator. However, they have paid less heed to his many comments on language and translation scattered throughout his works. These concern such varied topics as grammar, common usage, stylistics, etymology, and translation practices, all of which must be governed by the principle of decorum. More’s treatment of these questions stands squarely in the tradition of Cicero, Horace, Quintilian and St Jerome but it also represents both the humanists’ interpretations of these authors and their own comments on language and translation
