Opis

Modelled on the De Officiis of Cicero, Ambrose of Milan's work sets out his ethical vision for his clergy. This is the first Modern English translation of Ambrose's Latin. The Text and Translation in Volume 1 are supplemented by a detailed Commentary (Vol. 2) that concentrates on Ambrose's debts to Cicero.

Recenzje

it has always been recognized as a highly important work and one of unique interest because of its link with its famous literary predecessor...based uncompromisingly on the Bible and on the working of God in the spirit of man, which brought about so decisive a shift in the direction of European thought... It may at once be said that this is altogether an outstanding work, which is likely to hold its own for many years.
