Informationen zum Autor By Erasmus, Edited by John N. Grant and Denis L. Drysdall Klappentext This fifth of seven volumes on the Adages continues from where the Collected Works of Erasmus volume 34 left off and includes 900 more adages from III iv 1 to IV ii 100.

Many of the proverbs cited by Erasmus are still in use today.
