Knott PREFACE VII INTRODUCTION 7 DEDICATORY LETTERS 21 DE VERBORVM COPIA COMMENTARIVS PRIMVS 26 DE RERVM COPIA COMMENTARIVS SECVNDVS SYNOPSIS CAPITVM INDEX VOCABVLORVM LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS INDEX NOMINVM PREFACE This seventeenth volume in Erasmus' Opera omnia (ASD) contains De copia verborum ac rerum, edited by Betty 1. Knott, whose translation of this work appeared earlier in volume 24 of the Collected works of Erasmus (Toronto/ Buffalo/London, 1978). De copia belongs to the first of the nine 'ordines' into which Erasmus' writings are divided, a division laid down by Erasmus himself for the posthumous publication ofhis works (see his letters to Botzheim and Boece; cf. General introduction, ASD I, I, pp. X, XVII-XVIII, and C. Reedijk, Tandem bona causa triumphat. Zur Geschichte des Gesamtwerkes des Erasmus von Rotterdam. Vortrage der Aeneas-Silvius-Stiftung an der Universitat Basel, XVI, Basel/ Stuttgart, 1980, pp. 12 sqq., 21-22). Each 'ordo' is devoted to a specific literary or thematic category, ordo I being the "ordo librorum qui spectant ad institutionem literarum". The editorial board and the editor ofthe present volume are grateful to all libraries that kindly put books, photostats, microfilms, and bibliographical material at their disposal.
