For example, I did not follow a Ximenean rule that a member of a larger class cannot be used to define the class itself (one poster brought this up).

Don Manley calls these non-Ximenean clues “wild and woolly” and worries they're far too common.

[…] the Ximenean camp […] makes up the hardliners, setters and solvers who insist on every clue being thoroughly sound in both grammar and execution […]

Speaking of the Ximenean Polyglot, Prescott calls it a “noble monument of piety, learning, and munificence, which entitles its author to the gratitude of the whole Christian world.”—Ferd. 5r Isab., Vol. III., p. 289.

In the oldest Mozarabic service-book (the Orationale Gothicum) the series of services of instruction for the Compétents (Missae Cate- chumenorum) is confined to three weeks, and not, as in the Ximenean printed service-books, extended to six weeks.
