Part II: 26) Pseudo-Seneca, Proverbia, Castilian tr. perhaps by Pedro Diaz de Toledo (d. 1499), Counsellor to Juan II of Castile, Chaplain to the Marques de Santillana, and later first bishop of Malaga. Each proverb is followed by an explanatory text. 27) Dichos de filosofos, in 29 parts, mostly lists: 4 things a king should do, 3 sorts of friends, etc. 28) Tacitus, Annales 14.52-56, in an unidentified Castilian translation.
