  • "The second volume in a two-part series focuses mainly on the correspondence of Fronto and his contemporaries. The set is rounded out by other of Fronto's writings (a rare inclusion, as no originals survive) and letters from Emperor Marcus Aurelius himself."@en
  • "The literary remains of the rhetorician Marcus Cornelius Fronto first came to light in 1815, when Cardinal Mai, then prefect of the Ambrosian Library in Milan, discovered that beneath an account of the Acts of the first Council of Chelcedon in 451 had originally been written copy of the correspondence between Fronto and members of the imperial family, including no less than three who were to wear the purple. The letters possess an extraordinary fascination as giving an authentic record of the relationship between the foremost teacher of his time and his illustrious student Marcus Aurelius, his chief correspondent. Apart from small-talk (but even that is replete with interest) the principal subject is Latin prose style. Fronto practices to excess the cultivation of trendy mannerisms, but sees clearly enough the sterility of a slavish imitation of classical models. -- Jacket."@en
  • "Fronto (c. 100-176 CE), a much admired orator and rhetorician, was befriended by the emperor Antoninus Pius and teacher of his adopted sons Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. His correspondence offers an invaluable picture of aristocratic life and literary culture in the 2nd century."@en
  • "Les lettres du professeur de rhétorique à Marc Aurèle, Lucius Vérus, Antonin le Pieux et autres personnages importants du IIe siècle donnent l'occasion d'entrer dans l'intimité du pouvoir, mais plus encore, elles révèlent un penseur qui s'interroge sur les relations difficiles entre rhétorique et philosophie, sur les liens qui doivent unir l'expression publique et l'autorité d'un Empire."
