	JOHN TZETZES - LoveToKnow Article on JOHN TZETZES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Of his numerous works the most important is the Book of Histories, usually called Chiliades (" thousands ") from the arbitrary division by its first editor (N. Gerbel, 1546) into books each containing 1000 lines (it actually consists of 12,674 lines in " political " verse).
		It is a collection of literary, historical, theological and antiquarian miscellanies, whose chief value consists in the fact that it to some extent makes up for the loss of works which were accessible to Tzetzes.
		The Chiliades is based upon a collection of Letters (ed.

		For this reason, the part of proportionality recedes further from the truth in the first of the Chiliads, than with those in the later part: besides we shall be able to bring these [intermediate logarithms] out.
		This remainder (by adding first the characteristic that we see will have been the most useful) we look within the Chiliad, and the nearest logarithm that is less being taken, and (with the absolute number of the same selected at the time) being added to the given logarithm.
		The final total in the same Chiliad is necessarily increased, from which the same corresponding number is taken, that we first required.

		His literary and scholarly output was enormous, although it contained many inaccuracies--mostly because he was quoting from memory, lacking books, which he said his poverty forced him to do without.
		Of his numerous and varied works the most important is the Chiliades ("Thousands").
		Also known as the Book of Histories, the work is a long poem (more than 12,000 lines of 15 syllables) containing literary, historical, antiquarian, and mythological miscellanies, intended to serve as a commentary on Tzetzes' own letters, which are addressed to friends and famous contemporaries as well as to fictitious persons.

		La base della raccolta "Adagiorum graecolatino-ungaricorum chiliades quinque" fu l'opera intitolata "Adagiorum Chiliades" di Erasmus (Erasmo), edito a Basel nel 1574, una raccolta di proverbi latini accompagnati dalle spiegazioni.

		Innumerabilitas horum significatur per "chiliades chiliadum," et innumerabilitas illorum significatur per "myriades myriadum;" in sensu autem abstracto, qui est verus sensus spiritualis, significantur innumerabilia vera et innumerabilia bona.
		Quod "myriades" et "chiliades" significent innumerabilia, est quia "decem" significant multa, et inde quoque "centum," "mille" et "decem millia;" nam numeri per similem numerum multiplicati significant simile cum numeris simplicibus per quos multiplicati sunt (videatur n.

		We recall that this method works well as long as 1st and 2nd order differences only are involved, which corresponds to numbers in the locality of a power of ten, when 14 decimal places are required.
		Thus, Briggs was able to find the first 20 Chiliades, and the 90 to 100 Chiliades using this easy form of interpolation.
		The scheme proposed here by Briggs to extend the log tables by subtabulation between known logarithms to cover the missing Chiliades was never implemented by him, although in his advice to the reader he was keen that someone should undertake this task.

	János Baranyai Decsi and his Adagia
		A 1508 Venice Aldus edition of Adagiorum Chiliades Tres ac Centuria in Budapest includes a few Hungarian proverbs inscribed between 1510 and 1540 by Tamás Pelei, canon of Gyulafehérvár, reported by Ottó B. Kelényi in 1940 (KO).
		The deviation from the 5000 suggested by the title (chiliades quinque) is explained by omissions.
		The first collection of Hungarian proverbs was published in Bártfa in 1598 in the book entitled Adagiorum graecolatinovngaricorum chiliades quinque (Adagia), based on a 1574 edition of the Adagiorum Chiliades of Erasmus including the collections of some other Latin paroemiographers (for instance Gilbert Cousin, providing 546 titles for Decsi) too.

	Erasmus of the Renaissance
		It was through his travels and his association with other humanists that Erasmus was able to spread humanism throughout England.
		After his stay in England, Erasmus returned to Paris where he wrote his Chiliades Adagiorum, more commonly known as Adages, a collection of axioms, expressions, and proverbs from classical literature that he published in Latin.
		The first edition of this work was printed in 1502, and its publication began his scholarly reputation.

		Similarly, if anyone were to call Christ a robber, an adulterer, a drunkard or a heretic, wouldn't all good men stop their ears?
		And this reminds me, in the Chiliades I called the apostles Sileni, indeed, I said that Christ himself was a sort of Silenus.
		Now this would be intolerable if some prejudiced critic dismissed it briefly with an unpleasant interpretation, but anyone who is fair-minded and pious, if he reads what I wrote, will appreciate the allegory.

		This is understood as a quotation from Daniel 7.10:
		You can see that 1CL is closer to Theodotion's version (since the verbs match), but Clement reverses the word order/sequence from both.
