Nebrija's work was mainly based on the previous works by Latin authors like Prisciano, Dimedes or Donato, but introducing new concepts. He considered the grammar to be the highest science. To him, it was divided in Ortography, Prose, Etymology and Syntax. He was the first author to make claims on intellectual property.

Famous quotes containing the words grammatical and/or ideas:
“Evil is simply
a grammatical error:
a failure to leap
the precipice
between “he”
and “I.””
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
“Three elements go to make up an idea. The first is its intrinsic quality as a feeling. The second is the energy with which it affects other ideas, an energy which is infinite in the here-and-nowness of immediate sensation, finite and relative in the recency of the past. The third element is the tendency of an idea to bring along other ideas with it.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
