Orchot Tzaddikim Hebrew is a book on Jewish ethics written in Germany in the 15th century, entitled Sefer ha Middot by the author, but called Or ot addi im by a later copyist. Under this title a Jud o German translation, from which the last chapter and some other passages were omitted, was printed at Isny in 1542, although the Hebrew original did not appear until some years later Prague , 1581 . Subsequently, however, the book was frequently printed in both languages. The author of the work is unknown, although G demann Gesch. iii. 223 advances the very plausible hypothesis that he was Lipmann M hlhausen . The Or ot addi im, which was designed to be a very popular code of ethics, contains the following maxims among others It is evil pride to despise others, and to regard one s own opinion as the best, since such an attitude bars progress, while egotism increases bitterness toward others and decreases thine own capability of improvement ch. i. . Be just and modest in association with others, and practice humility even toward the members of the household, toward the poor, and toward dependents. The more property thou hast, the greater should be thy humility, and thy honor and beneficence toward mankind ch. ii. . Be kind to thy non Jewish servants make not their burdens heavy, nor treat them scornfully with contemptuous words or blows ch. viii. . Forget not the good qualities thou lackest, and note thy faults but forget the good that thou hast done, and the injuries thou hast received ch. xx. . Abash not him who hath a bodily blemish, or in whose family there is some stain. If one hath done evil and repented, name not his deed in his presence, even in jest, nor refer to a quarrel which has been ended, lest the dead embers be rekindled ch. xxi. . In ch. xxvii. the author bitterly attacks the pilpul method of study, reproves his countrymen who engage in this method of Talmud study, and reproaches those who neglect the study of the Bible and of all sciences ... more details

According to Foreign language influences in English different sources , around 30 of all English words have a French origin. This fact suggests that 80,000 words should appear in this list.
