In the Apophthegmata Erasmus presents a great number of famous sayings of famous people from Classical Antiquity, which he culled from Plutarch and paraphrased or loosely translated into Latin.

Erasmus' Apophthegmata present a great number of famous, pithy, remarkable sayings by famous people from Classical Antiquity. Erasmus based his Latin version of the anecdotes on famous words in Plutarch. He follows the collection of Greek sayings in Plutarch loosely, often more or less in paraphrase, but parts are almost literal translations. In the introduction (and in the notes to the Latin text) the editor makes the case that Erasmus' handling of Plutarch's texts was very much influenced by works of his fellow humanists Traversari and Filelfo.

Tineke L. ter Meer was trained as a scholar in Dutch literature at VU University Amsterdam, and achieved her doctorate with a study of the epigrams of Constantijn Huygens. She also edited his early Latin poems (2004). Currently, she assists in the translation of Erasmus' correspondence into Dutch.
