{"product_id":"cicero-and-roman-education-giuseppe-la-bua-9781107068582","title":"Cicero and Roman Education: The Reception of the Speeches and Ancient Scholarship","description":"Cicero saw publication as a means of perpetuating a distinctive image of himself as statesman and orator. He memorialized his spiritual and oratorical self by means of a very solid body of texts. Educationalists and schoolteachers in antiquity relied on Cicero's oratory to supervise the growth of the young into intellectual maturity. By reconstructing the main phases of textual transmission, from the first authorial dissemination of the speeches to the medieval manuscripts, and by re-examining the abundant evidence on Ciceronian scholarship from the first to the sixth century CE, Cicero and Roman Education traces the history of the exegetical tradition on Cicero's oratory and re-assesses the 'didactic' function of the speeches, whose preservation was largely determined by pedagogical factors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giuseppe La Bua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107068584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107068582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 9.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Giuseppe La Bua","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44890751533311,"sku":"9781107068582","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6b52214-46e6-448f-8899-9eab6f56f1aa.jpg?v=1709739925","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cicero-and-roman-education-giuseppe-la-bua-9781107068582","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
