Proverbium: Yearbook of International Proverb Scholarship (ISSN 0743-782X) is an academic journal covering paremiology, the study of proverbs. It is published annually by the University of Vermont and was established in 1985. Since volume 2, the editor-in-chief is Wolfgang Mieder. Each volume includes articles on proverbs from around the world, reviews of books, a bibliography of recent proverb scholarship, and a list of recent (re)published proverb collections.[1]

The journal succeeded Proverbium: Bulletin d'Information sur les Recherches Parémiologiques (ISSN 0048-5667), which was established by Matti Kuusi and published occasionally by the Finnish Literature Society between 1965 and 1975. The journal is one of two ongoing proverb journals listed as a significant sources for proverb studies in Proverbs: a Handbook (page 258).[2] It is also listed as one of a list of "Proverb Resources" by the Cog Web site. [3] Also, it is the only current journal listed by the University of Chicago's Defining Wisdom project in their Wisdom Literature Review. [4] It is one of only two journals cited by the International Association of Paremiology on their website. [5]
