In Praise of Later Roman Emperors: The Panegyrici Latini (Transformation of the Classical Heritage)

by C.E.V. Nixon, Barbara Saylor Rodgers

Here, for the first time, is an annotated English translation of the eleven later panegyrics (291-389 C.E.) of the XII Panegyrici Latini , with the original Latin text prepared by R. A. B. Mynors. Each panegyric has a thorough introduction, and detailed commentary on historical events, style, figures of speech, and rhetorical strategies accompanies the translations. The very difficult Latin of these insightful speeches is rendered into graceful English, yet remains faithful to the original.

[Santiago González (puntoartica) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Edición muy buena y completa, si eres un historiador (que no es mi caso) está genial. Los textos en sí son bastante importantes en este periodo en el que a menudo tenemos una o dos fuentes (o incluso ninguna) de algunos hechos. Algunos más relevantes que otros. Bien.
