A10851	The art of pronuntiation digested into two parts. Vox audienda, & vox videnda. In the first of which are set foorth the elements and seuerall parts of the voice: in the second are described diuers characters, by which euery part of the voice may be aptly known and seuerall distinguished. Very necessary as well thereby to know the naturall structure of the voice, as speedily to learne the exact touch of pronuntiation of any forraine language whatsoeuer. Newly inuented by Robert Robinson Londoner.	Robinson, Robert, Londoner.	1617 (1617)	STC 21122; ESTC S102581	16,009	62

second short vowell that in the middle region to the third short vowell and that in the outward region to the fourth short vowell And lastly the peculiar to be ioyned in the latter part of a sillable composed of it selfe and the third short vowell to expresse also the names of their seuerall letters which are heereafter formed Of the order and seuerall formes of the characters for the parts of mans voice For the sound in the throat seeing it is necessarily in continuall composition with the rest to vse any letter or marke for it would but make writing extraordinary tedious and worke little or no effect and for that cause I haue appointed it no character at all But for the sounds of different quantity arising of the same they haue excellently of long time been obserued of Musitians by placing higher or lower as the case doth require of sundry formed cliffes as 𝄢 𝄡 𝄞 signifying thereby the faut C solfavt and G solrevt cliffes that are chiefly in vse vpon certaine parralell lynes drawne one aboue another to expres the height or depth of their sounds in such and the like sort as is set downe in the three first sections of the ensuing dyagram and by sundry notes thus figured 톼텮 톺텥 톹텥 𝆹 with diuers others framed for the quauers Crotchets Mynoms Semibriefes and the like to expresse the length or shortnesse of the time wherein their sounds are to be continued which after the placing of any of the cliffes to guide the taking of their true heights they also set higher or lower and seuerally disperse vpon and between the same lines accordingly as the ayre of the musique doth require in such and other like manner as in the fourth and last section of the same diagram they are hereafter placed Of the formes of the letters wherewith I haue noted the vowels according to the order of their places In the first place The short vowell I haue figured thus The long vowell In the second place The short vowell The long vowell In the third place The short vowell The long vowell In the fourth place The short vowell The long vowell In the fift place The short vowell The long vowell For the more manifest demonstration of the construction of the vowells I haue here deuised and placed this ensuing figure The scale of vowells By the archlyne A B is represented the roofe of the mouth by the point C from whence the fiue seuerall lynes are drawne is supposed the roote of the tongue by euery of those lynes the tongue it selfe and by the seuerall angles of the same lynes vnder are supposed certaine eleuations bendings of the tongue which cause the fiue seuerall sounds called short vowells for which the same characters are framed and by the seuerall points vnder are supposed also seuerall eleuations of the tongue from any one of the said angles or places of the short vowells to the saide seuerall points whereby are made certaine longer organes in which are framed the fiue seuerall sounds called long vowells for which the said characters are appointed and by the circle in which O is inscribed is to be vnderstood the pipe or passage in the throat through which the breath passeth before it commeth to be fashioned by any of the organes of the tongue placed in the roofe of the mouth which in the said figure are afore described Of the formes of the letters which I haue obserued for the consonants in the mouth according to the order of their places In the first or outward region For the mute I haue put this character For the semimute this For the greater obstrict For the lesser obstrict In the middle region For the mute this For the semi-mute For the greater obstrict For the lesser obstrict For the peculiar In the inward region For the mute this For the semi-mute For the greater obstrict For the lesser obstrict Of the forme of the letter for the aspirate The aspirate I haue noted by this small oblique stroake The pronuntiation of these three letters in this order as they heere are placed xox by reason of the vicini ty of the places of construction is so speedily performed as that it seemes to be but one simple consonant sound nor indeed can it be discerned to be otherwise vnlesse by a very diligent obseruation and because the same is very frequent in speeche to write it so often at length would be troublesome Therefore for breuity sake in writing I haue contracted those three letters falling out in that order into one Character thus xx Of the distinguishing of sillables That euery sillable might be aptly and seuerally distinguished it is here meet to deuise some certaine accent or marke to bee placed ouer the first letter of the sillable to signifie where it takes beginning For that accent therefore I haue appointed onely a little point thus where there is no note of aspiration in any part of the sillable otherwise I haue expressed it with a small stroake parralell to the heads of the letters thus where the sillable hath an aspired note Of the manner of placing of the aspirate The aspirate note being for the least of all the simple sounds is as it were too small to bee accompted or placed amongst the other letters yet too big to be tearmed an accent Neuerthelesse for that it is of so frequent vse amongst the other letters to auoid tediousnes in writing and for ease of worke I haue appointed it as aforesaid this small Character to be fixed to either or both ends of the long accent as the case shall require in this order to wit if a sillable begin with an aspirat and end not with it which I call former aspired then to fix it at the hither end of the accent towards the left hand thus if a sillable begin without an aspirate and end aspired which I call latter aspired thē to fix at it the further end of the accent next vnto the right hād thus and if both beginning and ending of a sillable be aspired which I call double aspired then to fix it at both ends of the accent thus Of Tones There is yet one thing more very necessary to be known and carefully to be obserued in pronuntiation to wit the eleuation and depression of the voyce vsed in speech being in manner different from the rising and falling of the voyce in the sounds of different quantity spoken of before and this kind of lifting vp and depressing of the voyce is caused by a contraction of the lungs and hollow parts of the body wherein the ayre is inclosed sometimes being more speedy sending foorth the ayre through ' its passages with a swift motion whereby the sound of the speech is made more forceable to be heard and sometimes being more slow more weakly pressing forth the ayre wherby the sound of the speech is somewhat lessened and by this different motion and expulsion of the ayre three kinds of vtterances vsuall in the

pronuntiation of words doe arise all differing in proportion which Grammarians generally doe call toni and particularly distinguish them Acutus being the highest Grauis being the lowest Circumflexus being the meane Kinds of vtterance of each sillable And in the continued course of the speeche two sillables following together are neuer pronounced both in one tone but each sillable is alwayes vttered either higher or lower then the last preceding in the word or sentence Of the figuring of the tones They are thus figured by Grammarians namely the acute or highest tone by an oblique stroke ascending towards the right hand in this manner ´ the lowest tone by an oblike stroke descending towards the right hand thus ` and the circumflex being the meane between the other two by both the strokes ioyned together with the points downward thus which tones it is most conuenient to place so neer as may be at the beginning of each sillable but this circumflex note I wholly omit and for ease of worke onely vse the other two so that any sillable hauing no tone marked ouer it may be taken for the circumflex or mean between the highest lowest And if either of these two tones happen to fall out in a sillable wholly vnaspired then that so hapning being placed ouer the first letter of the sillable may serue to shew the beginning of the sillable in stead of this litle point of distinction which before I thought meet to obserue and in such case that point is to be omittde Breue de voce poema Latinum in nouo ordine literarum ante edocto iuxta Anglicanam nostram pronuntiationem conscriptum 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Idem poema in ordine literarum modò vsitato PArua licet tenuisque licet mihi magna potestas Per terram victrix per mare sum domina Quem calor frigus cingant mihi subiacet ●er Aequè vt participem sic Deus instituit Non mihi magna cohors mea si quadrata caterua Quinque tibi solùm praestat vbique latus Quos si dux sapiens nectat simùl ordine recto Sunt facilesque boni sunt rigidique boni Hos ducit si quandò expers ratione remissi Barbari insulsi terribilesque forent Qualis ego tantae cui vires nomina cunctis Imposui nomen VOX quoque fingo mihi Mentis ego interpres artis cunctaeque Magistra Expositrix velox discriminis varij Doctrinae radix caelos tartara ram●i Tangunt fructus mors modo vita modo Me famam Latiumque sagax me Graecia docta Me tenuit primum sancta Iudaea decus Et Ioue propitio me magna Britannia Romam Concussit tetram pandit inscitiam Hoc tantum reliquis liceat mihi dicere missis Non mihi sit rector qui sibi non dominus Epilogus VImina non vltravolucris nec vincta catenam It canis fraenum triste reducit equum Mens infausta nimis triplici quae carcere clausa est Quid videt vt discat quid videt vt doceat En ego protulerim subiecta haec proxima menti Ah me plus miserum discere vincla vetunt FINIS
