Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proverbs, Chiefly Taken From the Adagia of Erasmus, Vol. 1: With Explanations, and Further; Illustrated by Corresponding Examples From the Spanish, Italian, French English Languages The greater part of the Proverbs contained in these volumes, are taken from the edition of the Adagia, published by Henry Stevens in the year 1550, in folio; but in the explication of them, it was found to be not unfrequently expedient, to deviate from the plan followed, and from the explanations given in that celebrated publication. The reason for this will best appear, by giving a short history of that work, and by relating some peculiarities in the life of the author. Erasmus, who contributed largely to the restoration of letters in Europe, bestowed no small portion of labour in collecting together, and explaining the proverbs which he found scattered in the early Greek and Roman writers.
