Observations On The Present Collection Of Epistles Between Cicero And M. Brutus: Representing Several Evident Marks Of Forgery In Those Epistles ...:
Observations On The Present Collection Of Epistles Between Cicero And M. Brutus delves into a critical examination of the authenticity of the letters exchanged between the famed Roman statesman Cicero and Marcus Brutus, a key figure in the assassination of Julius Caesar. This scholarly work, penned in response to arguments put forth by Reverend Dr. Conyers Middleton, meticulously dissects the collection of epistles, identifying what the authors, James Tunstall and John Chapman, argue are evident signs of forgery.
The study offers a detailed analysis of the letters' content, style, and historical context, challenging prevailing views and inviting readers to reconsider the accepted narrative surrounding these important historical documents. By questioning the legitimacy of the epistles, the authors prompt a reevaluation of Cicero's and Brutus's philosophies, motivations, and roles in the tumultuous era of the late Roman Republic. This book is a valuable resource for historians, classicists, and anyone interested in the complexities of ancient texts and the art of historical investigation.
