This scholarly volume integrates recent papyrus discoveries and modern linguistic research, making it an essential resource for advanced students of classical rhetoric, history, and political theory. ## Description As consul in 63 BC Cicero faced a conspiracy to overthrow the Roman state launched by the frustrated consular candidate Lucius Sergius Catilina. Cicero's handling of this crisis would shape foreverafter the way he defined himself and his statesmanship. The four speeches he delivered during the crisis show him at the height of his oratorical powers and political influence. Divided between deliberative speeches given in the senate (1 and 4) and informational speeches delivered before the general public (2 and 3), the Catilinarians illustrate Cicero's adroit handling of several distinct types of rhetoric. Beginning in antiquity, this corpus served as a basic text for generations of students but fell into neglect during the past half-century. This edition, which is aimed primarily at advanced undergraduates and graduate students, takes account of recently discovered papyrus evidence, recent studies of Cicero's language, style and rhetorical techniques, and the relevant historical background. Review: Cicero wrote too much works I want to read more - This commentator knows Latin. The topic is conspiracy. Very political. I don’t recommend this book because it is not as interesting as other ciceronean works. But I do really enjoy the series. Recommended for upper class women and men. Review: Review of Dyck's Catilinarians - I have mixed feelings about Dyck's Cicero. One the one hand, he offers flawless introductions to each of the speeches, which help to perfectly summarize their context and outline their content. One the other hand, his notes at the back are a scatterbrained mess of commentary on oratorical style and references to Sallust (given in Latin), making them incredibly difficult for the reader to view quickly. Let's be honest--the Catlianarians are child's play, a stepping-text for intermediate students, and Dyck ought to baby his readers with straightforward, orderly, English notes. That said, I don't see any issue with the notes themselves; they are incredibly thorough, well-reasoned and insightful. Dyck has a good sense of Cicero's style, and he's happy to show you the twenty-something other passages that align or do not align with each phrase he annotates. The notes are a professional weave, so I'm only dissatisfied because I was forced to make use of them while still a novice. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #833,503 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #736 in Ancient & Classical Literary Criticism (Books) #2,864 in Literary Criticism & Theory #13,490 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 16 Reviews | ## Images ![Cicero: Catilinarians (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51iPNE5v3pL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cicero wrote too much works I want to read more *by F***4 on February 4, 2020* This commentator knows Latin.

One the one hand, he offers flawless introductions to each of the speeches, which help to perfectly summarize their context and outline their content. One the other hand, his notes at the back are a scatterbrained mess of commentary on oratorical style and references to Sallust (given in Latin), making them incredibly difficult for the reader to view quickly.

No real surprises here: it's a textbook of Cicero's orations against Cataline, with notes and commentary. 'Nough said. My issue is with the particular, physical copy of the text I received. I do not expect much from a used textbook, but I hope the notations of prior owners will be not too intrusive. And for the most part, so it is. Unfortunately, the text of the first oration was so overwritten as to be effectively unreadable. Happily, I found a copy in the library of my local college library, photocopied the required pages; cut the damaged pages out of the book, and with a neat cut-and-paste job made the volume suitable for use. Problem solved. Future buyers: rejoice ! This copy belongs to me now, and will be unavailable for resale to unsuspecting customers. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cicero: Catilinarians (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics) - Cicero: Philippics I-II (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17307827-cicero-catilinarians-cambridge-greek-and-latin-classics](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17307827-cicero-catilinarians-cambridge-greek-and-latin-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
