Looking for Erasmus Adagia translation

[jochen]

I hope I chose the right forum for my question.

I am looking for a translation of Erasmus Adagia in the public domain. I managed to find a version in Latin - https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34814 - but there seems to be nothing in English (or any other language for that matter).
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi - how about this?

Thank you @rothbard , I found this very useful, but unfortunately Erasmus' comments and explanations of the adages are not included.

A few years ago now I got a copy of The Adages of Erasmus selected by William Barker in a UK second-hand bookshop for £14.99. Have you tried second-hand or Charity bookshops?

Thanks @Tironis. I've come across the book by William Barker online. Like other books from University of Toronto Press it would be a great source but it isn't in the public domain.
Having failed to find a translation on the internet, I searched on booklooker and various library catalogues for an edition that was older than 100 years, but was unable to find any.

There's always an old Russian website, where it can probably be found.
