Excerpt from M. Tulii Ciceronis Ad Quintum Fratrem Dialogi Tres De Oratore: Cum Excerptis Ex Notis Variorum

The text of this edition of Cicero de Oratore, with a few inconsiderable exceptions, is that of Ernesti.' The edition of Dr. Carey has furnished some corrections in the punctuation. In selecting notes, it'was at first in tended to give short extracts from the principal common taries on this work, especially those of Proust, Olivet and Ernesti, as sqholia to the more difficult passages; a mode of illustration, as wa's thought, well adapted to the wants of those, who usually read this treatise in the course of their education. After considerable portion of the text was printed, it was determined, at the suggestion of the publishers, to give a part of the notes in English. The number of Latin notes is less, than was at first con templated. The whole number of notes is small; and it is recommended to the student, in reading this work, to have by him the Clavis Cicergniazga of Braesti; as With this help properly used, ho will seldnm be left 111 doubt as to the meaning of his author.... It will be. Observed, that, in the notes, no account is given 01 the orators, po ets, philosophers and historiaas, . Whose names - so fre quently occur in these dialogues. Such accounts have been omitted, as the student can easily find them a classical dictionary. J. L. K.

Informazioni sull'autore (2017)

Born in Arpinum on January 3, 106 B.C., Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman orator, writer, and politician. In Rome, Cicero studied law, oratory, philosophy, and literature, before embarking on a political career. Banished from Rome in 59 B.C. for the execution of some members of the Catiline group, Cicero devoted himself to literature. Cicero was pardoned by Julius Caesar in 47 B.C., and returned to Rome to deliver his famous speeches, known as the "Philippics," urging the senate to declare war on Marc Antony. Cicero's chief works, written between 46 and 44 B.C., can be classified in the categories of philosophical works, letters, and speeches. The letters, edited by his secretary Tiro, showcase a unique writing style and charm. The most popular work of the period was De Officiis, a manual of ethics, in which Cicero espoused fundamental Christian values half a century before Christ. Cicero was murdered in Formiae, Italy, on December 4, 43 B.C., by Antony's soldiers after the triumvirate of Antony, Lepidus, and Octavius was formed.
