书籍简介

西塞罗(Marcus Tullius，公元前106-43年)，罗马律师、演说家、政治家和哲学家，我们对他的了解比任何一个罗马人都多，他经历了一个动荡的时代，见证了尤里乌斯·恺撒在一个摇摇欲坠的共和国中崛起、独裁和死亡。特别是在他的政治演讲和书信中我们可以看到政治的兴奋，紧张和阴谋以及他在当时的混乱中所扮演的角色。在向罗马人民或元老院(如果是政治性的)或陪审员(如果是司法性的)发表的约106次演讲中，有58次得以保留(其中一些是不完整的)。在14世纪，彼特拉克和其他意大利人文主义者发现了手稿，其中包括900多封西塞罗的信件，800多封是西塞罗写的，近100封是别人写给他的。这些书信揭露了这个男人的事迹，因为大多数都不是为了出版而写的，所以更加引人注目。六部修辞学作品幸存下来，另一部残缺不全。哲学著作包括现存的七部主要著作和一些其他著作。也有诗歌，有些是原创的，有些是从希腊文翻译过来的。

西塞罗的洛布古典图书馆版有三十卷(编号到二十九，Philippics被指定为XVa和XVb)。

Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106–43 BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century, Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek.

The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in thirty volumes (numbered to XXIX, the Philippics having been assigned XVa and XVb).
