¶ A collection of apophthegms from classical antiquity among others from Socrates, Diogenes Laertius, Alexander the Great, Antigones, Julius Cæsar, Cicero, Demostenes, Aristoteles, and Demostenes. First published in Venice 1577 by Aldus, see Renouard 224,2; Berlin 1275; UCLA 902. This edition not mentioned in Graesse and Brunet. Apophthegm is a short, but memorable saying, which holds some important fact of experience that is considered true by many people, or it has gained some credibility through its long use. 'Als philologisches Handbuch behielt das Werk des indizierten Autors in der expurgierten Fassung seinen Gebrauchswert' (Mannheim). With the bookplate of 'Carolus Vitus Hofer de Liechtenögg' on the inside of the front cover.
