Consolatio (Cicero)

Reading notes

• Tusculan Disputations §1.65 in these very words in my \textit{Consolation}

  Cicero's Consolatio, written to console himself after the death of his daughter Tullia in 45 BC, from which he proceeds to quote a substantial passage on the divine, earth-born-less nature of the soul. The work is now lost except for such citations.

• Tusculan Disputations §3.70 whom we have gathered together in the \textit{Consolation}

  Cicero's lost Consolatio, written to console himself after the death of his daughter Tullia in 45 BC, in which he assembled examples of Romans who bore bereavement nobly. He refers to it again at 3.76.

• Tusculan Disputations §4.63 treated in the book of \textit{Consolation}

  Cicero's lost Consolatio, written to console himself after the death of his daughter Tullia in 45 BC, in which he applied philosophy's remedy to fresh grief against Chrysippus's advice.
