Proverbs, early 16th century
Contents
Collection of proverbs in Latin and what seems to be mainly a form of Middle Dutch, perhaps with some German influence. The first one, in Latin, begins with the words De locucione. Intercedit sapiens quid quoniam quando loquitur. The proverbs have been copied in full by Catherine Borland, see Appendix IV, p. 335 for those contained on f. 9r.
