Refranero Español is a collection of eight thousand popular proverbs from the Spanish people, explained, organized, and annotated by the renowned literary critic Juan Bautista Bergua. Cervantes defined proverbs in his work Don Quixote as 'brief sentences, drawn from the experience and speculation of our ancient sages,' and this great compilation offers the best and most delightful proverbs from our history. It is a literary source for lovers of the Spanish language, offering observations coined by collective experience over time—our culture exposed—a popular wisdom passed from one generation to another through oral tradition. Preceded by the 'Libro de los Proverbios Morales' by Alonso de Barros (1567) and with a prologue by Juan Bautista Bergua.
