CICERO, EPISTOLAE AD BRUTUM,
CICERO, EPISTOLAE AD BRUTUM, INCUNABULA 1499 Marcus Tulius Cicero and Cornelius Nepos. Epistolae ad Brutum, ad Quintum fratem, ad Atticum. Hoc in volumine haec continentur Epistola ad Augustinum Mapheum per Bartholmeum salicetu(m) Bononiensem: & Ludovicu(m) Regiu(m) Coreliensem. Published 1499, Phillipus Pincius, Venice. This is the rare second Pincius edition of Cicero?s "Epostolae ad Brutum," his "Letters" adding to his 1496 edition a note by Julius Pomponius Laetus, the Italian humanist and frequent commentator of classics. Edited by Bartholomaeus Salicetus and Ludovicus Regius. Cicero, the famed Roman orator and statesman, enjoyed a revival of thought in the early modern era; works by Cicero were amply reprinted in centers of print and study. The period of history covered by Cicero?s letters is one of the most interesting and momentous of all time; Venetian thinkers would have voraciously read the Ciceronian compositions. In this particular copy the Latin marginalia gives some primary source evidence of interaction with the principles and persons covered in Cicero?s letters. This text would form the foundation of other letter writing traditions such as Horace?s epistles, Ovid?s exile poetry, and the letters of Christian writers. Bound with a vellum spine and paper boards.
This copy enhanced with contemporary annotations including a subject index and extensive Latin marginalia.
