Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ... CICERO'S PHILIPPIC ORATIONS. 35ooit ffl. Chap. LI. By what fate of mine,1 0 Conscript Fathers, shall I say that it happens, that no one these twenty years has been an enemy of the republic, who has not 2 proclaimed war at the same time against me also? Nor indeed is it necessary that any one should be named by me: do you yourselves 3 remember with yourselves. They have paid more penalty to me than I could wish: I wonder that you, Antony, do not shudder at the ends of those, whose deeds you are 4 imitating. And I was wondering at this less in others. For none of them was a voluntary enemy to me: all were attacked by me for the sake of the republic. You not having been injured even in word, that you might appear bolder than Catiline, more furious than Clodius, wantonly attacked me with words of abuse, and thought that your estrangement from me would be a recommendation for you to disloyal citizens. 2. What am I to think? That I am scorned? I do not see either in my life or favour or achievements or this my mediocrity of talent, what Antony can despise. Or did he believe that I could be 5 disparaged most easily in the senate, --that order which has borne testimony to many most illustrious citizens of the republic having been well administered, to me alone of its having been preserved? Or did he want to contend with me in a match of speaking? This indeed is a kindness. For what fuller, what more copious theme is there for any man than for me to speak both for myself and against Antony. Certainly that is it: he did not think that it could be proved to men like himself, that he was his country's foe, unless he were an enemy to me. 3. 6 But before I reply to him about the other things, I will say a few words about the friendship, which he has..

The Philippics form the climax of Cicero’s rhetorical achievement and political activity. Besides, these fourteen speeches are an important testimony to the critical final phase of the Roman Republic. Yet for a long time they have received little scholarly attention. This two-volume edition now provides a comprehensive scholarly commentary on Philippics 3-9, seven central speeches of the corpus. Full annotations explain the speeches in terms of linguistic, literary and historical issues (vol. 2); they are based on a revised Latin text with a facing translation into English as well as a detailed introduction dealing with problems relevant to the whole corpus; a bibliography and indices complete the edition (vol. 1). Besides a running commentary on each speech, the study shows these orations to be rhetorical constructs in a historical conflict; hence particular emphasis is placed on an analysis of Cicero’s rhetorical techniques and political strategies. The format of the commentary is also intended to present scholarly information to a wide and diverse readership.
