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.

Readings cont...

The Oxford Handbook of the Second Sophistic
The study of the Second Sophistic is a relative newcomer to the Anglophone field of classics, and much of what characterizes it temporally and culturally remains a matter of legitimate contestation. This Handbook offers a diversity of scholarly voices that attempt to define the state of this developing field. Included are chapters that offer practical guidance on the wide range of valuable textual materials that survive, many of which are useful or even core to inquiries of particularly current interest (e.g., gender studies, cultural history of the body, sociology of literary culture, history of education and intellectualism, history of religion, political theory, history of medicine, cultural linguistics, intersection of the classical traditions and early Christianity).
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.
