Description
A Commentary on Cicero, De Divinatione II by Andrew R. Dyck This bilingual commentary provides a fresh perspective on Cicero's treatise on Roman religion and divination, De Divinatione II. Andrew R. Dyck, a leading expert in Latin studies, offers a detailed analysis of the text, situating it within the historical and philosophical context of ancient Rome. Dyck's commentary rejects a prevailing view of the text as a balanced debate, instead arguing that Cicero's authorship is invested in countering superstition. This new volume complements Celia Schultz's earlier work on De Divinatione I, providing students and scholars with a comprehensive understanding of Cicero's ideas on Roman practices and beliefs. By examining the text in depth, Dyck's commentary offers a valuable resource for those seeking to understand Cicero's thought and its significance in the ancient world.
