Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.), the great Roman lawyer, orator, philosopher and politician, had an immense influence on the Latin language. De Senectute became a popular ethical trea-tise, applying the prin-ciples of philosophy to lighten the troubles of old age, the so-called
“heaviest burden of life.”
The second text in the present manuscript, De Amicitia, describes what qualities make a good friend (and what characterizes a bad friend), providing ex-amples from Cicero’s personal life.
Cicero’s Paradoxa stoi-corum, the third text, was only rediscovered in the early 15th century. The Paradoxa is an introduction to Stoicism in which Cicero lays out six stoic principles (called paradoxes). It exerted enormous influence on Western intellectual thought as it became a standard school text during the Middle Ages and onwards.
In all the present manuscript is a fine humanist book with wide margins and interesting texts in a notable modern binding.
