Jonathan Storts
reviewed Ancient Aramaic and Hebrew Letters on January 25, 2014 Ancient Aramaic and Hebrew Letters
My review is NOT of Cicero, but of this particular edition. While I have no qualms with Professor Bailey's selection of letters, I do have some issues with the commentary itself. I'd selected this for my advanced, undergraduate course, and but in retrospect I'm not sure it was the best decision. The commentary was wide-ranging, and certainly showcases Professor Bailey's considerable knowledge of Cicero, but it was also unhelpful for undergraduates puzzling their way through the particular, and often confusing turns of Cicero's grammar and vocabulary in the letters. I appreciated several of Professor Bailey's insights, however, and so I was glad of the text myself. I just don't feel that it was the best fit for even sturdy, capable undergraduates in their second or third semester of advanced Latin.
