It is followed by the first annotated translation into English of the \u003ci\u003eCollectanea\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second part of this volume contains a series of indexes to all of the adages found in CWE volumes 31–36: Greek; Latin; Early Modern English proverbs with possible sources or parallels in Erasmus; Erasmus’ original topical index; and full indexes of all the proverbs and names mentioned by Erasmus. The \u003ci\u003eProlegomena to the Adages\u003c\/i\u003e is a much needed resource for Erasmus and Renaissance scholars alike and it continues the excellence in scholarship which defines the entire series.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume 30 of the \u003ci\u003eCollected Works of Erasmus\u003c\/i\u003e series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56945174151542,"sku":"9781442648777","price":204.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_39353091.jpg?v=1767820342","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781442648777-collected-works-of-erasmus","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
