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> 601543 1 1 1954 Cicero: Rhetorica ad Herennium (Loeb Classical Library No. 403) total:31|5:9|4:14|3:5|2:3|1:0| 31 122 49 3 3 0 false false Mon Nov 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 17:21:05 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 19:05:09 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Aug 20 07:44:44 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 07:46:37 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Apr 19 17:37:45 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 17:38:05 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Dec 01 10:52:37 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 01 10:52:37 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Nov 30 07:31:24 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 07:31:24 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Nov 20 02:06:16 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 02:06:16 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Nov 08 09:05:49 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 09:06:52 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Nov 07 12:48:04 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 12:47:58 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 12:48:02 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 07 10:38:19 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 10:38:19 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Nov 04 23:21:17 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 23:21:17 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 25 00:20:01 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 18:44:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Sep 28 10:27:05 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 10:27:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 10 16:07:44 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 16:19:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 09 17:47:10 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 17:47:10 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jul 06 14:05:34 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 14:05:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jun 28 15:46:56 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 15:46:56 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jun 17 21:02:02 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 21:02:02 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu May 28 04:36:35 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 04:36:35 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue May 12 23:50:41 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 23:50:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed May 06 18:58:35 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 18:58:35 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=615103
