A Treasury of Proverbs: Illustrated with Paintings from the Great Art Museums of the World by Herbert Applebaum
The Old Testament holds a rich store of insights into every aspect of human experience. The epigrams and precepts in this collection have been chosen from the Old Testament books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon. In addition, the collection includes maxims from the Wisdom of Solomon and Jesus ben-Sirach's Ecclesiasticus, two books in the Apocrypha known for their proverbial thought.
