description: Excerpt from The Moral Fables of Robert Henryson: It is indeed true that the word clericus is in a more general sense applied to a man of learning, whether an ecclesiastic or a layman. Scholar-es, says a learned civilian, qui et ipsi quarundam regionum consuetudine clerici appel lantur, quamvis non sint theologiae studiis addicti. (rittershusii J us J usti nianeum, p. 171. Edit. Argent. 1629, 4to.) See likewise Hearne's Glossary to Robert of Gloucester, v. Clerc. But clerk, subjoined to a person's name as his proper designation, regularly denoted a clergyman.About the Publisher: Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
