This sixth of seven volumes devoted to the Adages in the Collected
Works of Erasmus completes the translation and annotation of the
more than 4000 proverbs gathered and commented on by Erasmus in his
Adagiorum Chiliades (Thousands of Adages, usually known more simply
as the Adagia). This volume's aim, like that of the others, is to
provide a fully annotated, accurate, and readable English version
of Erasmus' commentaries on these Greek and Latin proverbs, and to
show how Erasmus continued to expand this work, originally
published in 1508, until his death in 1536. An indication of
Erasmus' unflagging interest in classical proverbs is that almost
500 of the 951 adages translated in this volume did not make their
first appearance until the edition of 1533. Following in the
tradition of meticulous scholarship for which the Collected Works
of Erasmus is widely known, the notes to this volume identify the
classical sources and illustrate how the content of his
commentaries on the adages often reflects Erasmus' scholarly and
editing interests in the classical authors at a particular time.
The work was highly acclaimed and circulated widely in Erasmus'
time, serving as a conduit for transmitting classical proverbs into
the vernacular languages, in which many of the proverbs still
survive to this day.
