Cicero, Agrarian Speeches. Introduction, Text, Translation, and Commentary. - MANUWALD, G.,

Introduction, Text, Translation, and Commentary

KORTE INHOUD

In this masterful study, Manuwald (Univ. College London, UK) translates, comments on, and analyzes an often-overlooked corpus of speeches stemming from Cicero's consulship. Though far less renowned than his Catilinarian speeches, Cicero's orations on agrarian laws (De Lege Agraria 1-3) provide today's readers with not only a detailed view into the historical and social context of the fascinatingly volatile late republic, but also a primer in the art of political persuasion... Though many of the entries in the commentary deal with details of Latin language and grammar, others explain a wide variety of historical and cultural concepts for the benefit of less-experienced readers. Manuwald's thorough edition of Cicero's agrarian speeches will prove useful to scholars in a variety of disciplines (e.g., Latin language, rhetoric, political science) and with a variety of backgrounds.
