| Oct 21, 2011 at 15:22 | comment | added | Hugo | You're right, I got so carried away with (excessive) bracket use, I missed that part of the question. (I was just adding the name of the book in the last comment.) | |
| Oct 21, 2011 at 15:16 | comment | added | Waggers | @Hugo Ah, so it does. But since the OP asked for those details in the question ("In which book did Erasmus first use them? What year was the book published?") if we have that information it should go in the text of an answer, not as a link. | |
| Oct 21, 2011 at 14:26 | comment | added | Hugo | (The footnote in the book I linked to says: "Erasmus, De recta Latini Grecisque sermonis pronuntiatione (Basel, Froben, 1530), sig. n5" (which is close enough).) | |
