I really enjoyed being able to read this book, and I've been looking for an opportunity to read it for a few years. If not for openlibrary.org, I'm not sure how I would have read this. I really enjoyed being able to see the Latin on the left-hand page and the English translation on the right. I'm a fan a proverbs, and these lessons from father to son in the form of couplets are beautiful.

[John Yelverton]

Kind of a fascinating read about what fathers actually considered to be important in ancient Rome.

[Arash Ahsani]

A concise yet profound repertoire of guidelines for living a virtuous life.
