Abstract

No prior source has yet been discovered for the proverbial phrase transcribed by Boccaccio in his autograph manuscript of the Bucolicum Carmen, (Greek Language Presented) ("an uneducated human being is a tree without fruit"). This paper provides new evidence from medieval Hebrew, which shows that a version of the saying was in fact in circulation prior to Boccaccio.
