Description: [COMMENT.] [PhR] ed. 1909 dont le commentaire précis est reproduit intégralement sur le site Perseus. La première édition date de 1897. Cet ouvrage qui présente une centaine de lettres est destiné au public étudiant. Il constitue également une oeuvre de synthése pour ce spécialiste de Cicéron. "The text of the Epistulae ad familiares is that of Mendelssohn, with slight changes in a few passages generally recognized as corrupt and not readable. C. F. W. Muller’s edition is the basis for the text of the Epistulae ad Quintum fratrem, and Wesenberg’s for that of the Epistulae ad Atticum, Bks. I.-XI. and XIV.-XVI., but in very many cases the reading of the Medicean MS., which Wesenberg rejects, has been restored, and in certain other cases the more probable conjectures of Lehmann and others have been substituted for the emendations accepted by Wesenberg. The text of Bks. XII. and XIII. of the Epistulae ad Atticum is that of O. E. Schmidt." Le livre comporte de longues introductions sur l’époque de la fin de la République et surtout sur la vie de Cicéron.
