Zusammenfassung:In a period of time when warfare and the corruption of morals challenged Christian creed and polities, Valencian humanist Joan Lluís Vives (Ioannes Lodouicus Viues, 1492/3-1540) produced a book of 239 proverbs or symbols to protect Princess Mary and any potential reader against the vicissitudes of life. Probably inspired by Erasmus’s monumental Adages, Vives conceived his sayings as spiritual guardians armed with a variety of virtues and wise teachings. Moreover, the entire book acts as a protective device for those who are willing to engrave in their souls the wisdom delivered in each symbol. The Squadron of symbolic maxims is the first complete English translation of the Satellitium siue symbola and it is presented in its third and final stage. This edition is accompanied by a thorough catalogue of Vives’s works. Both the Renaissance scholar and the learned reader interested in paremiology and the Classical Tradition will certainly find light and comfort in this fine piece of writing
