by C. E. V. Nixon (Author), Barbara Saylor Rodgers (Author)

Here, for the first time, is an annotated English translation of the eleven later panegyrics (291-389 C.E.) of the XII Panegyrici Latini, with the original Latin text prepared by R. A. B. Mynors. Each panegyric has a thorough introduction, and detailed commentary on historical events, style, figures of speech, and rhetorical strategies accompanies the translations. The very difficult Latin of these insightful speeches is rendered into graceful English, yet remains faithful to the original.

Having these documents available in English translation with a detailed historical commentary will be a boon to teacher and scholar alike.--Robert A.
