In this work, brief, concise statements with expressive force of moral character are studied, orally transmitted from generation to generation, summarized in most examples in simple bipartite or tripartite structures, a sentence or several sentences, or synthetic formulas such as an utterance or very heterogeneous groups of words, collected by Bento Pereira as Adagios da Lingoa Portuguesa (1655). Notes are drawn up on the origin of lexicography in Portugal, bilingual lexicography (Latin and Portuguese) and the relevance of Tesouros. Comments on the author’s biography and work are incorporated. We present an ordering by keywords that combines the alphabetical order of our dictionary writer and a possible ordering by subjects based on the lexical units documented in the formulation of each adágio, although it is usual that in many examples various themes intersect. This paper ends with the conclusions.
