Erasmi Opera Omnia : Volume II-8 (Opera Omnia Desiderii Erasmi Erasmus, "Opera Omnia")

Erasmi Opera Omnia : Volume II-8 (Opera Omnia Desiderii Erasmi Erasmus, "Opera Omnia") (Vol 2) by Ari Wesseling
English | Dec. 1, 1997 | ISBN: 0444821503 | 394 Pages | PDF | 18 MB

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."
This slim book was the nucleus which was to develop, from 1508 onwards, into the voluminous Adagiorum chiliades. As these collections have little in common, the text of the Collectanea is not taken into account in the present edition of the Chiliades. It will be incorporated in the final volume of our edition.6 Our commentary, however, does refer to it where appropriate.
