PRECEPTOR

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 274 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PRECEPTOR , a teacher or instructor, the classical meaning of the Latin praeceptor, from praecipere, literally to take in advance, hence to give rules or " precepts," advise, teach. As an educational
term
  in
English
  the word is
familiar
  through the College of Preceptors, a chartered society chiefly composed of private teachers; it was incorporated in 1849 and was one of the first professional bodies to institute
regular
  courses of pedagogic lectures and to
award
  after examination the titles of licentiate and
associate
  to teachers. It also holds
examinations
  for pupils. In
post
 -classical Latin praeceptor meant a
commander
 , praecipere, to order, enjoin, and the
term
  was adopted by the Knights Templars for the heads of the provincial communities of knights established on their estates. These communities and the estates themselves were known as " preceptories," and answered to the " commanderies " of the Hospitallers.
