Book Description:
|
The revised Latin text better reflects Ciceronian syntax and word order, differing from earlier texts in several hundred instances. The new translation, which faces the Latin text, is the first since 1926. An apparatus gives alternate readings of the text, and the textual appendix provides a rationale for particular passages. Notes and index identify personalities and explain Roman institutions for the novice reader, and introductory notes summarize the historical background.
