Sinopsis

‘A knowledge of proverbs contributes to a number of things,’ wrote Erasmus in his Introduction to the Adages, ‘but to four especially: philosophy, persuasiveness, grace and charm in speaking, and the understanding of the best authors…’ This volume contains the second 500 of the more than 4000 adages gathered and commented on by Erasmus, sometimes in a few lines and sometimes in full-scale essays. The notes identify the classical sources and indicate how Erasmus’ reading and thinking developed over the quarter-century spanned by the eight revisions of the original work. Many of the proverbs cited by Erasmus are still in our common stock of speech.

Volume 32 of the Collected Works of Erasmus series.

****** INTERNATIONAL ORDERS ******
****** VERY IMPORTANT! ******

Travel time on International orders via regular parcel post can take up to 8 WEEKS to arrive. It averages 20-30 days, with some packages arriving faster than that, but 35+ day travel time is VERY common and quite normal, and can even be a bit longer if the package is held up in the Customs Department in your country waiting to be cleared for delivery.

The countries that take the longest are....
RUSSIA & UKRAINE (VERY LONG 50 to 60 days, even for PRIORITY MAIL!)
BRAZIL (40-50 days)
ITALY (35-45 days)
GERMANY (25-35 days)
AUSTRALIA (30-40 days of late for some unknown reason, however, this is not normal).

I do thank you for your patience. Airmail times are of course speedier.
