Cicero Letters to Atticus: Books 7-11 (Loeb Classical Library) [Hardcover]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (Author), E.O. Winstedt (Translator)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1985 | ISBN-10: 0674990099 | ISBN-13: 978-0674990098

The fifth and sixth volumes of Dr Shackleton Bailey’s edition of the Atticus letters contain a revised version of the text first published in the Oxford Classical Texts in 1961. Problems of dating in this part of the correspondence are severe, and prolonged study of them has caused Dr Shackleton Bailey to depart on occasions from the traditional chronology. Like their predecessors, these two volumes contain a text and selective apparatus, a translation facing each page of text, a full commentary, and indexes.

Editorial Reviews

Review

‘A work of massive learning, which, however, never deluges the reader. The translation is accurate, brilliant, lucid. The clarity and economy of the commentary are amazing. Dr Shackleton Bailey merits our deepest admiration upon the completion of this monumental work.’ Classical Bulletin

‘In my opinion these letters reveal more clearly what Rome was like than anything in our literary tradition except the Aeneid. And here at last is an English version worthy of the great original.’ Classical Philosophy --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
