About this title

Synopsis

The eighth volume of the Adagia (Proverbs) of the Amsterdam edition of the Latin texts of Erasmus gives an introduction in English and a critical edition of the Latin text of the second half of the fourth thousand Adages. The text is accompanied by notes in English that trace Erasmus’ sources and give linguistic, historical, philological and, where appropriate, theological background information which elucidates the text and Erasmus’ way of working.

Synopsis

This is volume two (part eight) of the complete works of Erasmus. Like the other volumes, it contains an historical introduction and is accompanied by two sets of notes - an apparatus criticus and a commentary, in which Erasmus's sources are identified and references to people and events explained.
