By including orators from different phases within the Republican period as well as men given high or low rankings by contemporaries and later ancient critics, the collection offers a fuller panorama of Roman Republican oratory than a selection guided simply by an orator's alleged or canonical quality, or by the amount of evidence available. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis edition includes all the orators recognized by Malcovati and follows her numbering, but the texts have been drawn from the most recent and reliable editions of the source authors and revised in light of current scholarship; additional material has been included with its own separate numbering. Helping to guide readers through the material are faithful translations, informative introductions, and ample annotation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gesine Manuwald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674997247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674997240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.30h x 4.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Gesine Manuwald","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054606086399,"sku":"9780674997240","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38160258-52f7-4c52-831f-6f40eeabe50e.jpg?v=1685030923","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fragmentary-republican-latin-gesine-manuwald-9780674997240","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
