Family Sayings → Family Lexicon – Appears to be the WP:COMMONNAME for the English translation - it's the most recent, but also seems to be considered the most accurate translation, from what I've seen.

In particular the LoC list of Strega Award winners (1963) lists it as Family Lexicon, although acknowledging the Family Sayings translation as well. ScalarFactor (talk) 18:32, 21 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
