De Gloria

This work is lost — the continuous original text does not survive. The page collects what's known about the work from ancient testimony and from the author's own references to it elsewhere in the corpus.

Headnote

De Gloria, written in the summer of 44 BC and sent to Atticus in two books (Att. 16.2, 16.6). The work is lost; the page that follows is an editorial note, not a translation. A complete manuscript was reported in late-fifteenth-century Venice and then disappeared from the record.

What's known

Two-book philosophical treatise sent to Atticus in 44 BC (referenced at Att. 15.27, 16.2, 16.6). Lost in transmission; a single complete copy survived into the late Middle Ages but disappeared in the 16th century. Stub anchor for crossref resolution; no Latin text survives.
