LrPOGRAMMATIS
A Literary Folly to Which Some Ancient
Writers We're Much Given.

A Literary Folly to which Some Ancient
Writers We're Much Given.
The Greeks often composed lipogram-
matte works-works in which one let
ter of the alphabet is omitted. In this
manner Tryphiodorus wrote his ''Odys--
sey;" he had not Alpha in his first book,
nor Beta in his second; and so on with
the subsequent letters; one after an
other.
This Odyssey" was an imi tationNof
the lipogrammatic "Iliad" of NestOr.
There was an ode by Pindar, in which
he had purposely omitted the letter
Sigma. In fact, this ingenuity was
literary fashion, encouraged even by
people who ought to have been the first
to oppose such nonsense.
In Latin there is little prose work
of Fulgentius which the author divides
into twenty-three chapters according
to the order of the twenty-three letters
of the Latin alphabet. From A to o
are still remaining. The first chapter
is without A, the second without Il, and
so on.
The Persians were not free from this
literary folly, but one of them received
a good rebuke. He was a poet, who
read to the celebrated Jami gael of
his own composition, which Jami did
not like.
The writer contended that it was a
very curious sonnet, for the letter Alif
was not to be found in any one of the
words; to which Jami replied with
gravity: You can do better thing
yet; take away all the letters from
every word you have written. Youths
Companion.
