First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The 'Adagiorum epitome' is a specific abridgment of Erasmus's massive 'Adagia'. While the 'Adagia' itself has been translated in the University of Toronto Press 'Collected Works of Erasmus' series, this specific epitomized version (the 'Adagiorum epitome') has not been published as a standalone English translation. The Toronto series translates the full 'Adagia', not this specific 17th-century abridgment. Therefore, no complete English translation of this specific text exists.
