Cicero On Divination. Book 1 by David Wardle
In the two Books of De divinatione Cicero considers beliefs concerning fate and the possibility of prediction: in the first book he puts the (principally Stoic) case for them in the mouth of his brother Quintus; in the second, speaking in his own person, he argues against them. In this new translation of, and commentary on, Book One--the first in English for over 80 years--David Wardle guides the reader through the course of Cicero's argument, giving particular attention to the traditional Roman and the philosophical conception of divination.
David Wardle's excellent commentary will prove essential for all serious students of Greek philosophy in its wider cultural context, ancient history, Latin literature and Roman religion* Hans-Friedrich Mueller, Acta Classica *
Wardle's commentary will stand for decades to come as a worthy modern counterpart and complement to Pease's grand opus * J. Linderski, Scholia Reviews *
