Literature | Fingers' Ends I have it at my fingers' ends. I am quite familiar with it and can do it readily. It is a Latin proverb (Scire tanquam ungues digitosq.), where the allusion is to the statuary, who knows every item of his subject by the touch. (See Unguem.) "Costard: Go to; thou hast it ad dunghill, at the fingers' ends, as they say. Holofernes: O, I smell false Latin: dunghill for unguem." - Shakespeare: Love's Labour's Lost, v. l.
