Anwykyll, John (died 1487)

English schoolmaster and grammarian. He was the first headmaster of William Waynflete's school attached to Magdalen College, Oxford. He produced a grammar book, Compendium totius grammaticae (printed in Oxford in 1483, reprinted in Deventer, the Netherlands, in 1489 with a preface by the Italian humanist poet Pietro Carmeliano). This work was influenced by the writings of Lorenzo Valla and Niccolò Perotti and suggests that education at the new school included elements of the studia humanitatis.
