M. Tullii Ciceronis Epistolarum Libri XVI ad T. Pomponium Atticum

1684 CICERO Epistolae Familiarium Familiar Letters ROME Scholarly Orsini Lambin

"A room without books is like a body without a soul."

― Marcus Tullius Cicero

'Familiarium Epistolarum' or 'Familiar Letters' is a series of letters by Cicero to Roman public figures. They are considered the most reliable source of information for the period leading up the fall of the Roman Republic. It includes history of Rome, Julius Caesar, Brutus, and other important influences.

This rare 17th-century edition was published by Henri Wetsten in Amsterdam and is notable, not just for the Cicero, but for the enormous commentary included in each tome. Commentary includes notes from Graevius, Gronovius, Lambin, Paolo Manuzio, Orsini, and Ragazzoni. An impressive edition of Cicero.
