Grammar \(lower register\) 1437-39 Marble Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, Florence This relief is one of the five hexagonal panels in the lower register of the socle on the north side of the Campanile which were added after removal of the raised passageway between the campanile and the cathedral. These panels were executed by Luca della Robbia in 1437-39. The first of these five panels depicts Grammar, represented by Priscian, a Latin grammarian and scholar, active in Constantinople at the beginning of the sixth century. Little is known about the details of his life, but he wrote a number of treatises and teaching aids on grammar, poetry and metre that were widely read throughout the Middle Ages.
