Kis Viczay, (Péter) Petrus: Selectiora adagia Latino-Hungarica In gratiam & usum scholasticae juventutis collecta, et in Alphabeti Seriem concinnata...
Bartphae, 1713. Typis Civitatis. (36)+552p.
The most significant collection of speeches of the 18th century. A single release. The author (his original name was Molnár) was an evangelical pastor, who relied on Decsi Baranyai's work in his writing. The content of the book is presented in alphabetical order, according to the initial letter of the first word of the Latin proverb, with the Hungarian equivalent below. It contains more than 5300 articles. He surpassed Baranyai not only in the arrangement but also in his approach. While his predecessor praised the wisdom of proverbs, Kis Viczay emphasized their stylistic role and importance in education.
Contemporary half leather.
Poss.: With ex libris of Ferenc János Pál.
