Description
  • This manuscript preserves several of Marcus Tullius Cicero (b. 106 BC, d. 43 BC)’s orations, his treatises on friendship ( De amicitia ) and on the paradoxes of the Stoics ( Paradoxa stoicorum) as well as a work spuriously attributed to Sallust and known as Sallust's oration against Cicero (Invectiva in Ciceronem). The manuscript has been annotated by the Italian poet Petrarch (b.1304, d. 1374) and represents an important witness to Cicero’s speech Pro Caelio . The volume contained at least one other work, Cicero's treatise On old age ( De senectute ), but that part is now lacking (f. 120v preserves the rubric 'Incipit liber Tulii de senectute' as well as the catchword 'o tite', the opening words of that work). Contents: ff. 1r-18r: Cicero, Orationes in Catilinam , beginning: ‘Quosque tandem abutere Catilina patientia nostra’. ff. 18r-20v: Cicero, Invectiva in Sallustium , beginning: ‘Ea demum magna voluptas est Crispe Salusti equalem’. ff. 20v-21r: Pseudo-Sallust, Invectiva Salustii in Ciceronem , beginning: ‘Graviter et iniquo animo maledicta tua paterer Marce Tulii’. ff. 21r-24v: Cicero, Oratio ad Romanos pridie quam iret in exilium : beginning: ‘Si quando inimicorum impetum propulsare ac propelle’. ff. 24v-29v: Cicero, Oratio Post reditum ad senatum , beginning: ‘Si patres conscripti pro vestris immortalibus in me fratremque meum’. ff. 29v-31v: Cicero, Oratio Post reditum ad populum , beginning: ‘Quirites etsi nichil est homini magis’ (lacking the opening section ‘Quod precatus...maxime laetor’). ff. 31v-50r: Cicero, Oratio De domo , beginning: ‘Cum multa divinitus pontifices a maioribus’. ff. 50r-55v: Cicero, Paradoxa Stoicorum , beginning: ‘Animadverti Brute sepe Catonem avunculum’. ff. 55v-58v: Cicero, Oratio In Vatinium , beginning: ‘Si tantum modo Vatini quid indignitas postularet’. ff. 58v-67r: Cicero, Oratio Pro Caelio , beginning: ‘Si quis iudices forte nunc assit ignarus’. ff. 67r-74v: Cicero, Oratio Pro Balbo , beginning: ‘Si auctoritates patronorum in iudiciis valent’. ff. 75r-83v: Cicero, Oratio De haruspicum responso , beginning: ‘Hesterno die patres conscripti cum me et vestra dignitas’. ff. 83v-89v: Cicero, Oratio De provinciis consularibus , beginning: ‘Si quis vestrum patres conscripti expedat’. ff. 89v-99v: Cicero, Oratio Pro Sestio , beginning: ‘Si quis antea iudices mirabatur’. ff. 99v-110v: Cicero, Orationes Caesarianae , beginning: ‘Diuturni silentii patres conscripti quo eram his tempori’. ff. 110v-120v: Cicero, De amicitia , beginning: ‘Quintus Mucius augur Scevola multa de C Laelio socero suo’. ff. 120v: Cicero, De senectute , beginning: ‘O Tite’ (lacking the entire body of text). Decoration:Numerous large initials sometimes decorated with reserved designs, in blue, green, red or yellow ink (enclosing a human face on f. 29v). Rubrics in red and blue.
