About This Item
The "most complete and most useful edition" (Gratet-Duplessis) of Nuñez's vast proverb collection, first published in 1555, comprising over 8500 short sayings, including some Portuguese, French, Italian and Galician proverbs. The longer second part contains Juan de Mal Lara's Filosofia vulgar (fol. 121 ff.), a more discursive selection of proverbs, first published in 1568. Mal Lara's extensive and erudite commentary could be considered too long in places (noted Gratet-Duplessis), but it is redeemed by his wit and above all his citation of a large number of little-known Spanish poems (ibid., p. 294). The edition concludes with Garay's Cartas en refranes (see Oudin).

largely from the fifteenth to the early nineteenth centuries, and mainly from Continental
Europe. We look for printed books and manuscripts produced by or for less powerful social
strata -- women, the poor clergy, children -- but we also approach the historical book
as a crafted object, and thus offer examples of early printing and books of significance
for their illustrations, typography, or bindings.
