Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cicero´s Books of Friendship, Old Age, and Scipio´s Dream The Subject Matter of this Book. - The three books of Cicero, which are here translated, are among the choicest remains of antiquity. Scipio´s Dream, although not composed as a separate work, is complete in itself. It formed part of Cicero´s treatise On the State (De Re Publica, Libri VI.), which was composed in 54 B.C. This work is founded on the Republic of Plato, which also contains a vision of life after death, but of a very different kind from Cicero´s. The work disappeared a thousand years ago, all except the Dream, which was preserved by Macrobius; but in 1822 Cardinal Mai found the greater part of the first two books, which he published in the same year. The treatise On Old Age (Cato Maior sive De Senectute), was written in 44 B.C., and that On Friendship (Laelius sive De Amicitia) soon after; both were addressed to the author´s friend Atticus. Cicero was at this time living in retirement, and the years from 47 to 47 B.C. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
