‘To read through the volumes [of Cicero’s letters] . . . is in itself an education.’ None the less it is primarily as rich sources of information—and problems—about Cicero’s life and times that the letters have concerned scholars. They also stand apart from Cicero’s other writings in the importance and fascination of the textual problems they present. Thus we have recently had Shackleton Bailey’s prolegomena, and volumes of a new Oxford text. The Budé edition, which, like Tyrrell and Purser, arranges the letters in chronological order, continues to progress.

The collections other than Ad Familiares are available in new Oxford Classical Texts by W. S. Watt and (for Ad Atticum ix-xvi) Shackleton Bailey. In addition, at the time of writing, four volumes (i, ii, v, vi) have appeared of Shackleton Bailey’s complete edition of Ad Atticum with introduction, lively facing translation, and commentary.

The fact that, of all that has been written about Cicero, this very idiosyncratic and prejudiced work so soon appeared in English, is the kind of thing that explains why I have indulged in a good deal of apologetics.
