题目材料：
Educated people in the Renaissance learned their Latin from contemporary collections, like Erasmus` Adages and Ravisius Textor's Epitheta, that grouped pithy expressions not by author or period but by subject. Thus Renaissance students encountered the many variations ancient Roman writers (ca. 100 B.C. - ca A.D. 200) had for maxims like"War is pleasant to those who haven`t tried it."
They could even use these sayings lawlessly themselves, for example, urging friends who worked too long on one book to"take your hand off the writing tablet." But they had no sense of context; instead they associated the quotations not with the original sources, but with the other identical, similar, or opposite sayings cited in their textbooks. Modern scholarship has explored this point to explain the idiosyncratic nature of most Renaissance allusions to classical texts. The prevalence of this sort of secondhand classical culture in the Renaissance should figure in any effort to assess the degree and kind of influence that Roman writers had on the educated class of the sixteenth century in Europe.
