    <![CDATA[Lawyer, philosopher, statesman and defender of Rome's Republic, Cicero was a master of eloquence, and his pure literary and oratorical style and strict sense of morality have been a powerful influence on European literature and thought for over two thousand years in matters of politics, philosophy, and faith. This selection demonstrates the diversity of his writings, and includes letters to friends and statesmen on Roman life and politics; the vitriolic Second Philippic Against Antony; and, his two most famous philosophical treatises, &quot;On Duties&quot; and &quot;On Old Age&quot; - a celebration of his own declining years. Written at a time of brutal political and social change, Cicero's lucid ethical writings formed the foundation of the Western liberal tradition in political and moral thought that continues to this day.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106-43 &lt;span class=&quot;era&quot;&gt;BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek.</p><p> The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[For the great Roman orator and statesman Cicero,  the good life' was at once a life of contentment and one of moral virtue  and the two were inescapably intertwined. This volume brings together a wide range of his reflections upon the importance of moral integrity in the search for happiness. In essays that are articulate, meditative and inspirational, Cicero presents his views upon the significance of friendship and duty to state and family, and outlines a clear system of practical ethics that is at once simple and universal. These works offer a timeless reflection upon the human condition, and a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the greatest thinkers of Ancient Rome.]]>

    <![CDATA[De Officiis (On Duties) is Cicero's last theoretical work and contains his analysis, in a Greek theoretical framework, of the political and ethical values of the Roman governing class in the late Republic.  It has often been treated merely as a key to the Greek philosophical works that Cicero used, but this volume aims to render De Officiis, which had a profound impact upon subsequent political thinkers, more intelligible by explaining its relation to its own time and place.  All the standard series features are present, including a wholly new translation, a concise introduction by a leading scholar, select bibliography, chronology, notes on vocabulary and brief biographies of the most prominent individuals mentioned in the text.]]>

    <![CDATA[Amid the corruption and power struggles of the collapse of the Roman Republic, Cicero (106-43BC) produced some of the most stirring and eloquent speeches in history. A statesman and lawyer, he was one of the only outsiders to penetrate the aristocratic circles that controlled the Roman state, and became renowned for his speaking to the Assembly, Senate and courtrooms. Whether fighting corruption, quashing the Catiline conspiracy, defending the poet Archias or railing against Mark Antony in the Philippics - the magnificent arguments in defence of liberty which led to his banishment and death - Cicero's speeches are oratory masterpieces, vividly evocative of the cut and thrust of Roman political life.]]>

    <![CDATA[Professor Shackleton Bailey is renowned for his major scholarly editions of Cicero's letters already published by Cambridge University Press. This selection from the complete correspondence is designed specifically for students at universities and in the upper forms at schools, and offers them a representative introduction to one of the most varied and most important literary correspondences in any language. In choosing letters for inclusion the editor concentrates on Cicero as a man and writer and on his relationship with his contemporaries, but he has also included letters which deal with people and events of special significance in the turbulent political history of the period. The edition includes an introduction, the text of the letters with critical notes, and a commentary which gives help with linguistic problems as well as elucidating the historical and social background.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> In letters to his dear friend Atticus, Cicero reveals himself as to no other of his correspondents except, perhaps, his brother. These letters, in this four-volume series, also provide a vivid picture of a momentous period in Roman history--years marked by the rise of Julius Caesar and the downfall of the Republic. </p><p> When the correspondence begins in November 68 &lt;span class=&quot;era&quot;&gt;BCE the 38-year-old Cicero is a notable figure in Rome: a brilliant lawyer and orator, who has achieved primacy at the Roman bar and a political career that would culminate in the Consulship in 63. Over the next twenty-four years--to November 44, a year before he was put to death by the forces of Octavian and Mark Antony--Cicero wrote frequently to his friend and confidant, sharing news and discussing affairs of business and state. It is to this corpus of over 400 letters that we owe most of our information about Cicero's literary activity. And taken as a whole the letters provide a first-hand account of social and political life in Rome. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[`My present intention is to clear myself of any suspicion of partiality by presenting the views of the generality of philosophers concerning the nature of the gods.'     Cicero's philosophical works are now exciting renewed interest, in part because he provides vital evidence of the views of the (largely lost) Greek philosophers of the Hellenistic age, and partly because of the light he casts on the intellectual life of first century Rome.  The Nature of the Gods is a text of central significance, presenting a detailed account of the theologies of the Epicureans and of the Stoics, together with the critical objections to these doctrines raised by the Academic school. When these Greek theories of deity are translated into the Roman context, a fascinating clash of ideologies results.  This fine translation by P. G. Walsh includes a summary of the Text, and an Index and Glossary of Names.]]>

    <![CDATA[In April 56 BC, M. Caelius Rufus  was prosecuted for vis by L. Sempronius Atratinus; Cicero successfully defended him, making this speech at his trial.  Shortly before, Caelius, a prominent figure in public life at Rome, had ended a two year affair with Clodia (probably to be identified with the 'Lesbia' of Catullus' poetry), much against her will. Although his opponents took the opportunity of the trial to attack him on political grounds, the actual indictment against Caelius was prompted by social reasons.  Clodia herself, fiercely resentful of her rejection, was closely involved with the case, and is mentioned frequently in the Pro Caelio.  Cicero's speech gives an insight into the political events of the period; it also helps us reconstruct the 'social background' of Catullus, and is of special interest to the literary historian.  This third edition reproduces A. C. Clark's text, with the significant addition of a seventeenth-century conjecture which has been thought to identify Caelius' birthplace.  The notes and appendices have been updated in several respects; appendices II and III, discussing the place of Caelius' birth and the connection between Caelius and Caullus, have been rewritten and new notes have been integrated into the commentary.  This paperback reprint replaces the hardback edition first published in 1960.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106-43 &lt;span class=&quot;era&quot;&gt;BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek.</p><p> The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA['But I must stop now.  I can no longer speak for tears - and my client has ordered that tears are not to be used in his defence.'  Cicero (106-43 BC) was the greatest orator of the ancient world: he dominated the Roman courts, usually appearing for the defence.  His speeches are masterpieces of persuasion: compellingly written, emotionally powerful, and somtimes hilariously funny.  This book presents five of his most famous defences: of Roscius, falsely accused of murdering his father; of the consul-elect Murena, accused of electoral bribery; of the poet Archias, on a citizenshiup charge; of Caelius, ex-lover of Clodia Metelli, on charges of violence; and of Milo, for mudering Cicero's hated enemy Clodius.  Cicero's clients were rarely whiter-than-white; but so seductive is his oratory that the reader cannot help taking his side.  In these speeches we are plunged into some of the most exciting courtroom dramas of all time.  These new translations preserve Cicero's literary artistry and emotional force, and achieve new standards of accuracy.  Each speech has its own introduction, and a general introduction discusses Cicero's public career and the criminal courts.  The substantial explanatory notes guide the reader through the speeches, and offer new scholarship presented in a clear way.]]>

    <![CDATA['Two things alone I long for: first, that when I die I may leave the Roman people free...and second, that each person's fate may reflect the way he has behaved towards his country.'  Cicero (106-43 BC) was the greatest orator of the ancient world and a leading politician of the closing era of the Roman republic.  This book presents nine speeches which reflect the development, variety, and drama of his political career,among them two speeches from his prosecution of Verres, a corrupt and cruel governor of Sicily; four speeches against the conspirator Catiline; and the Second Philippic, the famous denunciation of Mark Antony which cost Cicero his life.  Also included are On the Command of Gnaeus Pompeius, in which he praises the military successes of Pompey, and For Marcellus, a panegyric in praise of the dictator Julius Caesar.  These new translations preserve Cicero's rhetorical brilliance and achieve new standards of accuracy. A general introduction outlines Cicero's public career, and separate introductions explain the political significance of each of the speeches.  Together with its companion volume, Defence Speeches, this edition provides an unparalleled sampling of Cicero's oratorical achievements.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> Cicero was a prodigious letter writer, and happily a splendid treasury of his letters has come down to us: collected and in part published not long after his death, over 800 of them were rediscovered by Petrarch and other humanists in the fourteenth century. Among classical texts this correspondence is unparalleled; nowhere else do we get such an intimate look at the life of a prominent Roman and his social world, or such a vivid sense of a momentous period in Roman history. </p><p> The 435 letters collected here represent Cicero's correspondence with friends and acquaintances over a period of 20 years, from 62 &lt;span class=&quot;era&quot;&gt;BCE, when Cicero's political career was at its peak, to 43 &lt;span class=&quot;era&quot;&gt;BCE, the year he was put to death by the victorious Triumvirs. They range widely in substance and style, from official dispatches and semi-public letters of political importance to casual notes that chat with close friends about travels and projects, domestic pleasures and books, and questions currently debated. This new Loeb Classical Library edition of the <em>Letters to Friends</em>, in three volumes, brings together D. R. Shackleton Bailey's standard Latin text, now updated, and a revised version of his much admired translation first published by Penguin. This authoritative edition complements the new Loeb edition of Cicero's <em>Letters to Atticus</em>, also translated by Shackleton Bailey. </p>]]>

  <description>
    <![CDATA[This edition is the first since J.D. Denniston's of 1926 to present the Latin text and commentary on the First and Second Philippics, two of Cicero's most polished orations, composed less than six months after the murder of Julius Caesar in March 44 BC. This period--roughly 63-44 BC--is important because the Roman state was in transition from Republic to Empire. The Second Philippic not only presents Cicero's assessment of his own political career and his place in Roman history from a perspective late in his life, but it also provides a vivid eyewitness account of how Julius Caesar, with the help of Mark Antony, made himself master of Rome.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106-43 &lt;span class=&quot;era&quot;&gt;BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek.</p><p> The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[The relevance of Cicero's On Old Age transcends time and culture as it examines with superlative clarity the challenging problem of aging.  <p>Cicero brilliantly addresses the aspects of old age and its sociological problems in a manner that is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago. With Latin text, notes, and vocabulary, this is a valuable text that intermediate students will find instructive and insightful.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106-43 &lt;span class=&quot;era&quot;&gt;BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek.</p><p> The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> Cicero's letters to his brother, Quintus, allow us an intimate glimpse of their world. Vividly informative too is Cicero's correspondence with Brutus dating from the spring of 43 &lt;span class=&quot;era&quot;&gt;BCE, which conveys the drama of the period following the assassination of Julius Caesar. These are now made available in a new Loeb Classical Library edition. </p><p> Shackleton Bailey also provides in this volume a new text and translation of two invective speeches purportedly delivered in the Senate; these are probably anonymous ancient schoolbook exercises but have long been linked with the works of Sallust and Cicero. <em>The Letter to Octavian</em>, ostensibly by Cicero but probably dating from the third or fourth century &lt;span class=&quot;era&quot;&gt;CE, is included as well. Here too is the &quot;Handbook of Electioneering,&quot; a guide said to be written by Quintus to his brother, an interesting treatise on Roman elections. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> Cicero's correspondence is unparalleled among classical texts; nowhere else do we get such an intimate look at the life of a prominent Roman and his social world, or such a vivid sense of a momentous period in     Roman history. </p><p> The 435 letters collected here represent Cicero's correspondence with friends and acquaintances over a period of 20 years, from 62 &lt;FONT     SIZE=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;B.C., when Cicero's political career was at its epak, to 43 &lt;FONT SIZE=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;B.C., the year he was put to death by the forces of Octavian and Mark Antony. They     range widely in substance and style, from official dispatches and semi-public letters of political importance to casual notes that chat with close friends about travels and projects, domestic pleasures and books, and questions currently     debated. This new Loeb Classical Library edition of the <em>Letters to Friends</em>, in three volumes, brings together D. R. Shackleton Bailey's standard Latin text, now updated, and a revised version of his     much admired translation first published by Penguin. This authoritative edition complements the new Loeb edition of Cicero's <em>Letters to Atticus</em>. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> Cicero's correspondence is unparalleled among classical texts; nowhere else do we get such an intimate look at the life of a prominent Roman and his social world, or such a vivid sense of a momentous period in      Roman history. </p><p> The 435 letters collected here represent Cicero's correspondence with friends and acquaintances over a period of 20 years, from 62 &lt;FONT      SIZE=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;B.C., when Cicero's political career was at its epak, to 43 &lt;FONT SIZE=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;B.C., the year he was put to death by the forces of Octavian and Mark Antony. They      range widely in substance and style, from official dispatches and semi-public letters of political importance to casual notes that chat with close friends about travels and projects, domestic pleasures and books, and questions currently      debated. This new Loeb Classical Library edition of the <em>Letters to Friends</em>, in three volumes, brings together D. R. Shackleton Bailey's standard Latin text, now updated, and a revised version of his      much admired translation first published by Penguin. This authoritative edition complements the new Loeb edition of Cicero's <em>Letters to Atticus</em>. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106-43 &lt;span class=&quot;era&quot;&gt;BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek.</p><p> The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[1899. With English notes, critical and explanatory, and historical, geographical, and legal indexes. The present edition of Cicero contains the four orations against Catiline, together with those for Archias, Marcellus, the Manilian Law, and Murena. In making this selection, the editor has been guided by the statues of Columbia College, which require all the orations that have just been enumerated, with the exception of the last two, to be read by candidates for admission in the Freshman Class...The commentary, it will be perceived, is far from being a scanty one. If there be any author that stands in need of full and copious illustration, it undoubtedly is Cicero in the orations which have come down to us. The train of thought must be continually laid open to the young scholar, to enable him to appreciate, in their full force and beauty, these brilliant memorials of other days; and the allusions in which the orator is so fond of indulging must be carefully and fully explained. Unless this be done the speeches of Cicero become a dead letter, and time is only wasted in their perusal.]]>

Prefaced to the dialogue is Cicero's general justification for writing on philosophy. In his introduction, Andrew Dyck analyzes the work in the context of Cicero's intellectual development and of ancient views of the deity.]]>

    <![CDATA[Completely Parsed Cicero is an irreplaceable, primary resource for educators. The complete text of In Catilinam I, an interlinear translation, and an accompanying, more polished translation are just part of this goldmine. At the bottom of each page below the text, each Latin word is completely parsed and the commentary includes useful references to the revised grammars of Bennett, Gildersleeve, Allen and Greenough, and Harkness and delves into word derivations and word frequencies, making this volume helpful for the competent reader of Latin as well as the novice.     A new introduction by Steven M. Cerutti of East Carolina University provides guidelines for the use of this resource by high school Latin teachers and educators at all levels.]]>

  <description>
    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Toward the end of the last century Cicero's work came under attack from several angles. His political stance was sharply criticized for inconsistency by Theodor Mommsen and others, his philosophical works for lack of originality. Since then scholars have come to a better understanding of the political conditions that informed the views of Mommsen and his contemporaries about Caesar and Cicero, and as a result Cicero's writings have been restored to a more appropriate position in the literature and history of the Roman Republic. At the same time recent years have seen an intensive study of Hellenistic philosophy, and this has shown more clearly than before that, even while following Greek models, Cicero nonetheless pursued his own political and, in the ethical works, moralistic agenda. <br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Composed in haste shortly before Cicero's death, <em>de Officiis </em>has exercised enormous influence over the centuries. It is all the more surprising that Andrew R. Dyck's volume is the first detailed English commentary on the work written in this century. It deals with the problems of the Latin text (taking account of Michael Winterbottom's new edition), it delineates the work's structure and sometimes elusive train of thought, clarifies the underlying Greek and Latin concepts, and provides starting points for approaching the philosophical and historical problems that <em>de Officiis</em> raises.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A work of major importance for classicists, philosophers, and ancient historians, this <em>Commentary </em>will be an invaluable companion to all readers of Cicero's last philosophical work.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Andrew R. Dyck is Professor of Classics, University of California, Los Angeles.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Publication of this volume is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
