Los refranes vascos de Sauguis traducidos y anotados por Julio de Urquijo e Ibarra
Summary
The author describes Sauguis´ Basque sayings as discovered by Jaurgain. There are another five very old collections of Basque sayings, among which the most important is one published in 1596 whose archaic language and terms offer information to the historian, as well as to the linguist. Some proverbs that possibly have a Basque origin are selected for study. They are selected as they mention villages or things that happened in the Basque Country. Sauguis´ manuscript is then studied and a small dictionary of the Basque terms which appear in the text is introduced. There are 205 proverbsSing up and download the publications of Eusko Ikaskuntza
