The volume contains an introduction in English and a commentary including an identification of sources quoted, and linguistic, philological, theological and historical background to the Latin text.

The third volume of Ordo V in the Amsterdam edition of the Latin texts of Erasmus presents the second half of Erasmus' commentaries on eleven Psalms.

The volume presents critical editions of the Latin texts and introductions and commentary notes in German that provide the reader with useful philological, theological, linguistic and historical background information, elucidating the text and identifying Erasmus' sources.

Many of the proverbs cited by Erasmus are still in our common stock of speech.
