Summary "Les proverbes communs" by Jean de La Véprie is a collection of proverbs written during the late 15th century. This book serves as a rich repository of wisdom and cultural insights, reflecting the thoughts and values of its time through various sayings that encapsulate human experiences and social norms. The proverbs cover a range of topics, from personal conduct to social relationships, providing readers with a glimpse into the moral and ethical considerations of the era. The content of the book is organized alphabetically, with various proverbs presented in a concise manner, each conveying a piece of wisdom or advice. For example, sayings like "A bon demendeur saige escondisseur" (A good question deserves a wise answer) and "Il n'est pas maçon qui pierre refuse" (He is not a mason who refuses stone) illustrate the book's focus on practical knowledge and observations about human nature.
