The Scholia on Ciceroâs Speeches
Contexts and Perspectives
Series: - Mnemosyne, Supplements, Volume: 476
The ancient commentaries and scholia to Ciceroâs speeches have hitherto received relatively little scholarly attention. This volume is dedicated to Asconiusâ first-century commentary and the corpora of the scholia stemming from the 4th-7th centuries (Bobbio, ps.-Asconius, and Gronovius). It shows the specific interpretative challenges of these corpora and offers interpretative case studies. Furthermore, it contextualizes the corpora within the learning and learned environment of their time, by contrasting them with rhetorical teaching (via the transmission of Cicero on papyri and his presence in the Rhetores Latini minores) and other ancient commentaries (on Homer and Demosthenes).
Dennis Pausch, Ph.D. (2004), is Professor Latin at Philipps-Universität Marburg. His research interests include Roman historiography and Augustan poetry, but also focus on invective texts, among others the speeches written by Cicero.
Christoph Pieper, Ph.D. (2008), is University Lecturer of Latin at Leiden University. His research focuses on Roman oratory, especially Cicero and the Ciceronian tradition, and on the literature of 15th-century Florence.
Contributors are: Caroline Bishop, Joseph Farrell, Thomas J. Keeline, Giuseppe La Bua, Fernanda Maffei, Gesine Manuwald, Giovanni Margiotta, Christoph Pieper, Thomas Riesenweber, Christoph Schwameis.
