Abecedarius is a poem having lines beginning with letters of
the alphabet in sequence. In broad view, an abecedarius is an acrostic in which
the first letter of every word, strophe or verse follows the order of the
alphabet. Abecedarius is also a generic term for an alphabet book, which dates
back to Biblical writings such as the Psalms, which used successive letters of
the Hebrew alphabet as the first letter of each stanza.
