Abstract:
This paper focusses on the diversity of proverbs that originate in practical and everyday life and convey ideas ofphilosophical or religious value. However, of more importance is the performativity of these short sayings that are easy toremember, so that they are a major instrument of transmission and encounter of cultures. As such, proverbs contribute to anuniversal scope of wisdom. For early Church Fathers and even earlier in the Greek Translation of the Old Testament(Septuagint), the question arises of to what extent this classical sapiential Literature could have been helpful for theknowledge of God and for conversion.
