A Commentary on the Letters of M. Cornelius Fronto
This is the first commentary on the letters of Marcus Cornelius Fronto (c. 90-95 - c. 167). It aims at an extensive grammatical, stylistic and historical interpretation of the letters and the ancient testimonies on Fronto. The author demonstrates where Fronto stands in Latin literature; hence the numerous quotations of parallel, similar and dissentient passages from Fronto and other writers. The letters are written in a pure, simple style, with a great deal of colloquialisms and many a post-classical turn of phrase. The many archaisms show how Fronto as a philologist had a comprehensive knowledge of pre-Cicero Latin. This commentary, based on the Teubner-edition by the author (Leipzig 1988), offers a thorough explanation of Fronto's style and language, e.g. of his archaisms and colloquialisms, identification of the persons mentioned, and the chronology of the letters. Seven elaborate indices complete this book.

Marcus Aurelius in Love
In 1815 a manuscript containing one of the long-lost treasures of antiquity was discovered—the letters of Marcus Cornelius Fronto, reputed to have been one of the greatest Roman orators. But this find disappointed many nineteenth-century readers, who had hoped for the letters to convey all of the political drama of Cicero’s. That the collection included passionate love letters between Fronto and the future emperor Marcus Aurelius was politely ignored—or concealed. And for almost two hundred years these letters have lain hidden in plain sight. Marcus Aurelius in Love rescues these letters from obscurity and returns them to the public eye. The story of Marcus and Fronto began in 139 CE, ...
Epistolario
Marco Cornelio Frontón fue considerado el principal orador de su tiempo, y tuvo a su cargo la educación de los emperadores Marco Aurelio y Lucio Vero. Marco Cornelio Frontón (h. 100-176 d.C.), nacido en el norte de África, se trasladó a Roma, donde fue considerado el principal orador de su tiempo y se le nombró tutor de los emperadores Marco Aurelio y Lucio Vero. Muy poco se supo de su obra hasta que, a principios del siglo xIX, apareció una colección de sus cartas, parcialmente en griego. Este volumen reúne dichas epístolas, muchas de ellas dirigidas a miembros de la dinastía en el poder, con varias respuestas de éstos. Aparte de los abundantes cumplidos, siempre sobrios y comedidos, a estos personajes públicos, las misivas contienen lo que fue la pasión del autor: el lenguaje, la literatura y la retórica. El lector hallará en ellas valoraciones razonadas sobre autores de la tradición latina, como Ennio, Catón, Séneca y Cicerón. El interés principal de la correspondencia reside en el estilo, expresión del alto valor que el autor y su época conferían a la cultura y la erudición.
The Correspondence of Marcus Cornelius Fronto with Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Lucius Verus, Antoninus Pius, and Various Friends
The correspondence of Fronto--a much admired orator and rhetorician who was befriended by the emperor Antoninus Pius and teacher of his adopted sons Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus--offers an invaluable picture of aristocratic life and literary culture in the 2nd century. His letters reveal Fronto's strong stylistic views and dislike of Stoicism as well as his family joys and sorrows. They portray the successes and trials of a prominent figure in the palace, literary salons, the Senate, and lawcourts, and they give a fascinating record of the relationship between the foremost teacher of his time and his illustrious student Marcus Aurelius, his chief correspondent. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Fronto is in two volumes.
