according to the commonplace heads in Erasmus his Adages. 1639.
[Clarke says in his preface, he has gathered from Erasmus, scholars and
friends, 'over and besides my own observation of many golden proverbs
dropping from vulgar mouths ima de plebe. ' The most complete
collection of English proverbs was that of John Ray, the naturalist,

Thomas Blount. 1650. [The making of devices' involved some pictorial
representation together with a symbolic meaning. When this is expressed
in words it becomes an emblem. In the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, emblem-books were a recognised recreation to the scholar.
We learn from Farnaby and Hoole that they were used in schools as
helps in phrase-making in both Latin and Greek prose and verse com-
position. Amongst the English emblem-writers were Geoffrey Whitney,
Choice of Emblems, 1586; Andrew Willet, 1598; Peacham's Minerva
Britannia, 1612; Francis Quarles, 1635; George Wither, 1635. The
foreign emblem-writers, Alciat, Bocchius, Jovius, Maccius, quickened
language study, especially Latin (by presenting the foreign languages
along with pictures of what was described in words) as well as serving for
scholarly recreation. On emblem literature see Green, H. , Shakespere and
