PREFACE
prooemium (an introduction at the beginning of a treatise etc.): praefatio (a verbal introduction to a speech etc.; but allowable in the sense of preface to a book as a written work takes the place of a spoken disputation etc.; thus Col. often uses praefari in this sense; e.g. 1 praef. § 33): the preface to a book prooemium libri (☞ not ad librum); prooemium libro additum. To write a preface prooemium scribere: to prefix a preface to a work libro prooemium addere or affigere: I will make no preface omitto proloqui (Ter. Phorm. 5 6 21).
