Abstract
Humanists have appraised the value of proverbs which they have considered to be the receptacle of knowledge on vernacular language. So they have col lect ed these proverbs and commented on them within their social and historical context. Gustavo Correas, Salmantin professor and humanist, collected the largest number of proverbs and sayings, during a period dominated by Tridentine ideology. His commentaries related to the universe of secular and religious power shows the way he had to practise self-criticism, and also his boldness when he dared to transgress established norms and which strategy he adopted to do so.Nueva Revista de Filología Hispánica (1947-), volume 66, 2, July-December 2018, is a semi-annual publication edited by El Colegio de México, Carretera Picacho Ajusco 20, Ampliación Fuentes del Pedregal, Tlalpan, C.P. 14110, Mexico City, Mexico, Tel.
