Between 1839 and 1851 Ernest Ludwig von Leutsch (1808-1887) and
Friedrich Wilhelm Schneidewin (1810-1856), classics professors at
the University of Goettingen, published this collection of ancient
paroimia or proverbs written or collected by ancient Greek authors.
Volume 1 contains writings by Zenobius, Diogenianus, Plutarchus,
and Gregorius Cyprius. A critical apparatus for each text cites
variant readings between manuscripts; a running Latin commentary is
given below the critical apparatus; and a Latin preface, written by
Schneidewin, introduces the volume and explains the editorial
methods underlying the work. The Corpus has long been considered
the definitive collection of Greek paroemiography and is still used
as a model of textual editing by researchers today. Unsurpassed in
its breath and scope, it remains an indispensable tool for students
and scholars of the Greek proverbial tradition. It ranks as one of
the outstanding achievements of nineteenth-century scholarship.
