Frente a ella, para facilitar el manejo y promover la cultura del momento, Lycosthenes publicó otro 'Apophthegmatum', ordenado alfabéticamente por lugares comunes (temas, asuntos) incluyendo apotegmas de autores contemporáneos. La primera edición, impresa en Basilea en 1555 por su cuñado Oporinus fue muy bien recibida y, de inmediato, Vincent, en esta edición compartida con Jean II Frellon, la reprodujo, siendo la primera de las más de 30 ediciones que siguieron en poco más de 100 años, aunque solo las anteriores a 1585 respetan la selección original de Lycosthenes. En efecto, como la obra fue incluida, junto a todas las de Lycosthenes, en el 'Índice de libros prohibidos' ya en 1559, su éxito hizo que, por un lado, los editores católicos la publicasen previa depuración de apotegmas en las ediciones posteriores a esa fecha y, por otro, que editores de la Reforma añadiesen en las suyas apotegmas de contemporáneos de su corriente doctrinal. Nota: Baudrier dijo que los ejemplares de Vincentium llevan fecha de 1557, pero este ejemplar demuestra que al menos algunos no. Libros.

Lycosthenes edierte und ergänzte 1552 das Prodigienbuch des spätantiken Autors Julius Obsequens und stellt 1557 seine eigene Sammlung vor. Dabei steht er im Banne der im 16. Jahrhundert verbreiteten Vorstellung, dass sich das Eingreifen Gottes in Vorzeichen - Naturkatastrophen, Missgeburten, Kometen - ankündigt, eine zeittypische Kontingenzbewältigungsstrategie.

In der Entstehungszeit dieses Buch hatte er mit Jean Frellon eine Geschäftsbeziehung, deswegen haben alle über das KVK zu erreichenden Exemplare als Verleger Frellon - und nicht wie hier Vincent - angeführt. - Wolffhart, (um 1518 - 1561), studierte Geschichte, Theologie und Philosophie in Heidelberg und schloß 1539 mit der Promotion zum Dr. phil. ab. Er lebte seit 1542 als Prof. von einer Diakonspfründe in Basel und widmete sich dem Verfassen enzyklopädischer Werke unterschiedlicher Sachgebiete Unter anderem veröffentlichte Wolffhart die vielfach aufgelegten und weit verbreiteten Apophthegmata, ex probatis Graecae Latinaeque linguae scriptoribus collecta (1555). Sein umfangreiche Historiensammlung mit Beispielen für alle Lebenslagen, Theatrum vitae humanae (1565, 1571, 1586/87), wurde erst von seinem Schwiegersohn Theodor Zwinger abgeschlossen, herausgegeben und erweitert. Die von dessen Sohn 1604 herausgebrachte umfassendste Ausgabe war der Grundstock des Magnum theatrum vitae humanae, das unter der Leitung des Antwerpener Jesuiten Laurentius Beyerlinck zur größten Enzyklopädie jener Zeit umkonzipiert und 1631 in Köln publiziert wurde.
