Abstract
The history of Finnish paremiology dates back to Henrik FLORINUS (1702), and culminated in the proverb anthology of Elias LÖNNROT. Just recently in Suomen Kansan Vanhat Runot Vol. XV (the definitive academic publication of the “Old Finnish Runes”) the late Professor Matti KUUSI did publish the old Finnish “proverb poems”. KUUSI’s lifework has been concentrated around paremiology. After many years of classifying international proverb lore, a detailed system of arrangement of the proverbs was created. The paper presents the Matti Kuusi system, exemplified by the above mentioned Finnish proverb texts.
