CICERO, Pro M. Caelio Oratio. Edited by R.G. Austin. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1956. Reprint 2nd ed. XXXII,163p. Cloth with dust wrps. Dust wrps a bit worn. Some small red pen markings. 'After several reprintings of his admirable first edition (1933) of this famous and attractive speech, Professor Austin now gives us a second edition which is still better. (...) The pages relating to the manuscripts have been rewritten: the bibliography is enlarged and usefully classified. The good general introduction reappears with a few small changes: so also the appendixes, except for the last one on the composition of the speech, which has been recast so as to show clearly the rival views of scholars regarding the 'parallell' passages. (...) What makes this edition essentially a new one is the commentary, which has been 'entirely re-written' (...). (L.H.G. GREENWOOD on the second edition in The Classical Review (New Series), 1954, p.304). € 17.50 € 12.00 (Antiquarian)
