Rövid leírás:
Cicero's Agrarian Speeches have found less attention in modern scholarship than his arguably more famous speeches against Catiline. This edition aims to bring them to a wider scholarly audience, offering a comprehensive introduction, revised Latin text and new English translation, and the first detailed full-scale commentary.
TöbbHosszú leírás:
The Agrarian Speeches (Orationes de lege agraria) were delivered in January 63 BCE, just after Cicero had entered office as consul; they are his inaugural orations and therefore the first element of his consular activity. They not only provide valuable testimony for approaches to agrarian legislation in the late Republic, but also show how the new consul presented himself before the Senate and the People at the beginning of his consular year, a significant political event for which very few extensive sources remain.
These speeches are also significant in demonstrating Cicero's rhetorical virtuosity and the sophistication of his political tactics in arguing against a proposal for a grand scheme of buying, selling, and allocating land put forward by the Tribune of the People, P. Servilius Rullus. Delivered in the same year as his arguably more famous orations against Catiline, they have nevertheless found less attention in modern scholarship. This edition offers a comprehensive introduction, a revised Latin text alongside a new English translation, and the first detailed commentary on the corpus, which, besides addressing numerous linguistic and textual issues, also explains the complex legal and historical situation and illustrates Cicero's sophisticated argumentative techniques. Drawing on the contemporary resurgence of academic interest in political oratory, it aims to bring these neglected speeches to a wider audience and will be particularly suitable for both scholars and students interested in Cicero, oratory, Roman law, or the history of the Roman Republic.
In this masterful study, Manuwald (Univ. College London, UK) translates, comments on, and analyzes an often-overlooked corpus of speeches stemming from Cicero's consulship. Though far less renowned than his Catilinarian speeches, Cicero's orations on agrarian laws (De Lege Agraria 1-3) provide today's readers with not only a detailed view into the historical and social context of the fascinatingly volatile late republic, but also a primer in the art of political persuasion... Though many of the entries in the commentary deal with details of Latin language and grammar, others explain a wide variety of historical and cultural concepts for the benefit of less-experienced readers. Manuwald's thorough edition of Cicero's agrarian speeches will prove useful to scholars in a variety of disciplines (e.g., Latin language, rhetoric, political science) and with a variety of backgrounds.
