A quick definition of hornbook:

A hornbook is a book that teaches the basics of a subject, like a textbook. It can also be a book that explains the basic principles of a certain area of law. In the past, hornbooks were covered in a protective layer of horn to keep them clean. The hornbook method is a way of teaching law that is straightforward and includes questions. In Scotland, horning was a way of declaring someone an outlaw, and it involved a messenger blowing a horn three times.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A hornbook is a book that explains the basics of a subject or contains the fundamental principles of an area of law. It can also refer to a method of legal instruction that presents legal doctrine in a straightforward manner with occasional questions.

For example, in the past, children's first books were often covered with a piece of horn to keep them clean. These books were called hornbooks. Additionally, in some countries and fields of law, the hornbook method is used to teach legal concepts.

The hornbook method is different from the Socratic method, which involves asking questions to stimulate critical thinking and discussion. Instead, the hornbook method focuses on presenting information in a clear and concise manner.

In Scottish law, horning refers to the denunciation of a person as an outlaw. The term comes from the old ceremony of proclaiming a person outlawed, in which the king's messenger gave three blasts on a horn.
