‘The English edition of the Apopthegmata represents an imposing work of scholarship which would be of great interest, not just to students and scholars who lack linguistic skills to read Erasmus in the original Greek & Latin but to specialists who wish to gain deeper understanding of one of the most popular and influential works of the sixteenth century.’
