It occupies an important place in the history of positive grammar, providing an excellent example of Latin teaching in late medieval Italy. In fact, da Buti treatise deals not only with grammar, but also with rhetoric andArs dictaminis, as was customary in the Italian tradition in the final centuries of the Middle Ages.
