Great talk. Listened to it twice. The discussion about the relation between grammar with the other two arts is interesting. Same with that of the social responsibilities of those with a classical education around the 47:00 mark. Looking forward to the follow up about the quadrivium.
Very helpful summary of the trivium. The attempts to disassociate the trivium from Aristotle is obviously a major problem today. Your thoughts on this particular topic are very helpful. Especially where you noted that the art of reasoning in a certain sense comes first.
You said @ 33:47, "Everything in grammar starts to make sense. We can see why it matters to follow the rules for sentence making because we are trying to make sentences clear. And if we are not stating something in an annunciating way, where there is truth or falsehood, we want to make sure we show that in our language." That statement put into focus why grammar is so important. Thank you!
There certainly are master teachers of Grammar. Appolonius is considered the master of grammar among Greeks; Marcus Varro would likely be the master among the Romans. Alvarez was the master among the 16th century Jesuits, and William Lily among the English.

Note that our ability to discuss these subjects is getting more detailed with time. Even the feedback is more intelligent, discerning.
Excellent video -- thankyou

Is there a master teacher for Grammar? I think I’ve heard the master teacher named for all the six other liberal arts.
