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. The 435 letters collected here represent Cicero's correspondence with friends and acquaintances over a period of 20...

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 b.c., which conveys the drama of the period following the assassination of Julius Caesar.

The discovery in 1936 of a complete MS, of M trceta's 'Hymn of 150 Verses', previously known only from fragments in Tibetan and Chinese translations, was an important addition to Sanskrit literature.

Like Dr Shackleton Bailey's Propertiana, this book gives a series of difficult or corrupt passages with his discussion of the difficulty and suggestions for emendation. Dr Shackleton Bailey also prepared a text of Ad Atticum IX XVI, which appeared in the series of Oxford Classical texts and this volume is intended as preparatory to that text. This is one of the Transactions of the Cambridge Philological Society."
