Note to Anon (FoGT) 36III

[All]: The association between brachilogia and climax can be found in the Graecismus (Wrobel 1887, 7, ll. 84-5), and it is likely that the author of FoGT was thinking of Évrard of Béthune when he referred to the opinion of ‘some scholars’. In a different part of the Graecismus (Wrobel 1887, 13, ll. 49-51), Évrard describes the figure of gradatio, with examples, as de uoce in uocem descende, gradatio fiet ‘[if you] descend from word to word, it produces gradatio’. This is very similar to the strategy of st. 36.
