Descrizione: [Abstract dal sito della rivista] This is a translation of a short text in Latin by John Toland (1670–1722), with an introduction and annotations. Toland’s text is a conjecture on the influence of a passage from Cicero on modern printing. The translator’s introduction discusses the theories mentioned by Toland, and sketches the background of the text. It discusses Toland’s interest in Cicero and the context of the text’s publication in 1722 by Michel Maittaire, and Toland’s and Maittaire’s intertwined circles of literary patronage.
