Descrizione: This article will first examine the Ciceronian spurious works themselves, addressing Toland’s attempt to forge something akin to a canon of Ciceronian spuria as he selected certain works for inclusion in his edition, while rejecting others as unsuitable. This will provide the opportunity to uncover which spurious works maintained a presence in the Ciceronian tradition, and how they managed to survive into the eighteenth century, while also establishing Toland’s attitude towards the individual texts discussed. After the canon itself has been established, Toland’s strategies as an editor for justifying the inclusion of certain spurious works in his edition will be considered. To this end, it will be the values he identified in those spurious works which will be considered, hence the reasons he offered as editor for his decisions. In this way, I intend to show that Toland’s brief engagement with the Ciceronian spuria in Cicero illustratus was an exercise in the construction of editorial authority, as Toland exploited this interaction with the false works to endorse his own position [Author]. These spurious texts are: Rhetorica ad Herennium; the Sallustian Invectives; Oratio ad populum et equites antequam iret in exilium; Epistola ad Octavium; the Consolatio; Oratio pro Marco Valerio; Liber de synonymis ad L. Victurium; Orpheus, sive De adolescente studioso; Tironis notae tachygraphicae; De memoria artificiali libellus; Oratio Graeca de pace.
