Book Reviews of Cicero's First Catilinarian Oration
Book Review: Weak on grammatical notes
Summary: 2 Stars
I used this text alongside of Cerutti's Pro Archia (2nd ed.), and I found Frerich's edition of the First Catillinarian to be sorely lacking in comparison. First, the running vocabulary is presented alphabetically on each page, not by line number, extending the time it takes to find words. This may sound minor, but it makes a difference over the course of several hundred lines. But more significantly, the notes were too few and far between. After a while, I found myself forgetting to check the grammatical notes because most of the time, they didn't address the problem with which I was working. Cerutti's Pro Archia notes, on the other hand, were copious and much more detailed. So in summary Frerich's edition is useful in so far as it gives running vocabulary and a few grammatical notes, but I would choose many other annotated editions before his.
Summary of Cicero's First Catilinarian Oration
Cicero's First Catilinarian speech is now available in a practical and inexpensive annotated edition for third-year Latin students. In light of existing textbooks, Karl Frerichs' new edition has several important and distinguished strengths. 1. Clear, tripartite page layout for text, vocabulary, and notes on facing pages. 2. Running vocabulary separate from notes and complete vocabulary at the end. 3. Introduction and Glossary of Terms and Figures of Speech provide basic biographical, historical, and rhetorical background. 4. Maps and illustrations.Also available:
