{"product_id":"9781442648777","title":"Adages: Collectanea and Indexes","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter spending several months in England, Erasmus returned to Paris in the winter of 1500 and set about compiling a small anthology of classical proverbs known as the \u003ci\u003eAdagiorum collectanea. \u003c\/i\u003eThis modest work became the basis for one of Erasmus’ best known and longest works, when it was expanded in 1508 into the far more substantial\u003ci\u003e Adagiorum chiliades\u003c\/i\u003e.　The essay that begins this introductory volume to the \u003ci\u003eAdages \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the development of the \u003ci\u003eCollectanea\u003c\/i\u003e and its transformation into the \u003ci\u003eAdagiorum chiliades\u003c\/i\u003e. 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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026587599088,"sku":"9781442648777","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442648777_p0.jpg?v=1763824624","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442648777","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
