Description: [Cook, Brad L.] [Abstract] Aspects of Petrarch’s role in Cicero’s Rezeptiongeschichte are well known. What remains uninvestigated, however, is the context in which Petrarch laboured to reconstruct Cicero’s biography. An analysis of the biographical texts on Cicero from Antiquity to Petrarch, with special attention given to the Troyes epitome of Cicero’s life, shows how the rebirth of Cicero’s biography, and of a scholarly acumen and historical perspective to which we are heirs, radically developed in the fourteenth century.
