Samling af Swenska Ordspråk / i ordning ställde efter alfabetet, med tillägg af någre utur Latinen och andre Språk, liklydande eller motswarande

An alphabetical collection of Swedish proverbs assembled with additions from Latin and other languages, presenting both complete sayings and fragmentary adagia. The editor explains selection criteria, acknowledges omissions, and occasionally supplies concise notes on origins, folkloric associations, and legal or mythic antecedents. Many entries include cross‑linguistic parallels to illustrate shared motifs, and some half‑proverbs and brief sententiae are included alongside fully formed proverbs. Framed as a modest, nonexhaustive register compiled from oral and printed sources, the work emphasizes recording and comparison rather than extended commentary.
