About this edition

A complete edition of the surviving works of Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BC), translated in a single voice with the Latin alongside.

What's here

The complete surviving works of Marcus Tullius Cicero, translated from the Latin: the speeches (the Verrines, the Catilinarians, Pro Milone, the Philippics, and the rest of the surviving orations), the rhetorical works (De Oratore, Brutus, Orator), the philosophical works (De Re Publica, De Legibus, De Finibus, the Tusculan Disputations, De Natura Deorum, De Officiis, On Old Age, On Friendship, and more), and the full correspondence — the letters to Atticus, to his friends, to his brother Quintus, and to Brutus. Every work carries the Latin facing the English, a headnote, and an apparatus of glossary and cross-references.

From the Latin

Every translation was produced by reading the Latin text directly, not by copying or adapting any prior edition. The Latin comes from open scholarly sources.

How to use this

Open any work from the contents page; the corpus is arranged in the order Cicero wrote it, so you can read straight through the late Republic as he lived it, or jump to a single speech or treatise. The Latin sits beside every passage at one tap, and every name in the glossary links to where it appears. Search runs across the entire corpus.
