Cicero: De re publica

‘Gesine Manuwald’s Cicero: De re publica is a valuable resource for anyone interested in this text. By featuring the text, a new translation, commentary and an extensive bibliography on scholarship to-date in a single volume, the book presents a useful companion to Powell’s OCT edition of the text and fulfils its goal of appealing to a broad audience: experts can benefit from the volume’s extensive bibliography, non-experts from the explanatory commentary elucidating Cicero’s arguments.’ Ana Kotarcic, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

‘Gesine Manuwalds Leistung liegt darin, eine textnahe Übersetzung und einen Gesamtkommentar zu De re publica vorgelegt zu haben, der die literarischen, philosophischen und historischen Traditionslinien und Konzepte berücksichtigt und sie auf dem aktuellen Stand der Forschung transparent darstellt.’
‘Gesine Manuwald’s achievement lies in having produced a translation that remains faithful to the original text, along with a comprehensive commentary on De re publica, which takes into account the literary, philosophical and historical traditions and concepts and presents them clearly in the light of current research.’
