In Praise of Later Roman Emperors: The Panegyrici LatiniC. E. V. Nixon, Barbara Saylor Rodgers Univ of California Press, 2015 M03 18 - 735 pages 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. |
