Synopsis
Excerpt from Selected Letters of Cicero: With Notes for the Use of Schools
The text adopted in this selection is that of Baiter and Kayser. In their edition of Cicero's works the letters of Cicero to his friends, and to his brother Quintus, occupy the ninth volume (leipsic, and those to Atticus and Brutus the tenth volume There are some passages in these selected letters which Baiter and Kayser, and all critical editors, are obliged to print in a hopelessly corrupt state. But inasmuch as the present edition is intended for the use of schools, it seemed desirable to adopt in most cases such conjectural emendations as might enable the passage to bear translation.
Besides these graver departures from the'text of Baiter, some deviations in spelling have been adopted.
The brackets and italics are from Baiter and Kayser, and denote respectively that the words so treated ought probably to be omitted, or inserted.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a prime example of the literary form of letter writing. The letters in this work provide an authentic, in-depth look at the mind of an influential Roman living through a time of political, social, and personal upheaval. The author's insights into his own motivations, relationships, and decision-making under pressure are priceless, and give an intensely human perspective on what would otherwise be a dry recitation of historical events. His reflections on morality, friendship, and the qualities of a just society, written while he was an exile from his homeland, provide a depth and range of thought that few modern works of political philosophy can match. The collection also offers fascinating glimpses into aspects of Roman life, from its political infighting to the evolving nature of Roman friendship and the law. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330605981_0
