scholium

A note added to a text as an explanation, criticism or commentary.

And when I shulde make scholias, notis, and gloses in the margent as himself and his master doith.

Mr. Fox was fain to make soom Scholia’s on it, to reconcile a gloss like that of Orleance, which corrupts the Text.

A note added to a proof as amplification.

Scholium, is a remark made leisurely, and as it were by the by, on that Proposition, Subject or Discourse before advanced, treated of, or delivered.

Which is evident likewise concerning the Orbits of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, from the Scholium to Prop. 9.

A “copy-book maxim”, trite saying.

The old scholium, that ‘too much familiarity breeds contempt’.
