“A room without
books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Cicero was one of the most notable and prolific Roman figures of ancient
Rome. His philosophical works and letters are considered the most reliable
source of information for the period leading up to the fall of the Roman
Republic. The works of Cicero have been published in numerous languages and
formats from as early as the mid-15th-century.
This Latin set was published by Peter Van der Aa in Lyon in 1692 and was
edited by the famous Dutch scholar Jacob Gronovius. Gronovius included the
contributions of Janus Gruterus and Janus Gulielmus.
