Gero (Basque for 'later', Guero in the orthography of the day) is a 17th-century ascetic book in Basque written by Pedro Agerre, better known as Axular. It is considered one of the masterpieces of classic Basque prose and literature altogether. Its accomplished, elaborate language in classic Lapurdian dialect turned it into a writing model for later writers from Labourd.
