{"product_id":"cicero-4","title":"CICERO","description":"\u003cp\u003eUndated and doubtless pirated edition, without imprint or colophon but bearing the anchor and dolphin device, of this Italian translation of Cicero s Letters to Atticus; a near-identical edition, but with different types, was issued by Paulus Manutius in the same year. Cicero s letters to his friend Titus Pomponius Atticus were a crucial source for the Renaissance recovery of  proper  Latin style, as well as offering a window into the orator s personality; in these letters he revealed himself more fully than with any other correspondent save perhaps his brother. Cicero s De Amicitia, on friendship, was also dedicated to Atticus. The Letters to Atticus mark a crucial point in Roman history, which included the rise and death of Julius Caesar and the downfall of the Republic, and are a valuable source of information on Roman social history and mores. Their rediscovery by Petrarch in the Cathedral Library of Verona in 1345 has been described as the spark for the humanist revival of classicism in Italy.  \u003cbr\u003e\n  Cette  édition sans date est certainement d une autre Imprim√®rie   Ce ne sont point les m√®mes caract√®res; et ce volume, mal execut é, est la contrefaçon de l  édition Aldine de 1555 qu il copie servilement  (Ren. 265: 31).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CICERO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57868717523279,"sku":"L4478","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/2425\/0703\/files\/L4478-Cicero-3.jpg?v=1781793368","url":"https:\/\/www.sokol.co.uk\/products\/cicero-4","provider":"Sokol Books Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
