Adagiorum Epitome, a book written by Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus in the year 1537, is a collection of more than 4,000 proverbs and adages in Latin. The book is an abridged version of Erasmus' larger work, Adagia, which was published in 1500. Adagiorum Epitome contains a wide range of proverbs, from ancient Greek and Roman sayings to contemporary expressions. The book is organized alphabetically by subject, making it easy for readers to find specific proverbs that relate to a particular topic. Erasmus' commentary on each proverb provides insight into the meaning and origin of the saying, as well as its use in literature and everyday life. Adagiorum Epitome is a valuable resource for scholars of Latin and classical literature, as well as anyone interested in the history and culture of proverbs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
