Parvum Opus (Latin for small work) is a weekly column on the
English language, and more, that I've been writing since just
before Christmas of 2002. This is Volume II, the collected work
from 2004. In editing this collection, besides correcting errors, I
added a few footnotes to clarify certain points, particularly when
my understanding or opinion changed. A decade is a long time not to
change one's opinions, especially considering all we've been
through over these years. However, a few years ago I shifted most
of my political comments to my Cincinnati Independent Examiner
column, at www.examiner.com/independent-in-cincinnati. The
collection of the first year of those columns is titled The Gritty
Bits. Parvum Opus includes a lot of comments, questions,
information, and corrections from steady readers over the years.
Sometimes they wrote the column for me, and I thank them. When the
great universities were established in Europe, professors taught
the Trivium and the Quadrivium. The Trivium consisted of grammar,
rhetoric, and logic. The Quadrivium consisted of arithmetic;
geometry; music, harmonics, or tuning theory; and astronomy or
cosmology. Someday, I may change Parvum Opus to Trivium Pursuit.
