A highly informative book of great value to anyone interested in Cicero's oratory, the history of Roman education and Latin textual criticism. Provides a comprehensive study of the reception of Cicero's speeches in the ancient schoolroom and a fascinating picture of the Roman educational system.
Cicero saw publication as a means of perpetuating a distinctive image of himself as statesman and orator. He memorialized his spiritual and oratorical self by means of a very solid body of texts. Educationalists and schoolteachers in antiquity relied on Cicero''s oratory to supervise the growth of the young into intellectual maturity. By reconstructing the main phases of textual transmission, from the first authorial dissemination of the speeches to the medieval manuscripts, and by re-examining the abundant evidence on Ciceronian scholarship from the first to the sixth century CE, Cicero and Roman Education traces the history of the exegetical tradition on Cicero''s oratory and re-assesses the ''didactic'' function of the speeches, whose preservation was largely determined by pedagogical factors.
