Cassiodorus-famed throughout history as one of the great Christian
exegetes of antiquity-spent most of his life as a high-ranking
public official under the Ostrogothic King Theoderic and his heirs.
He produced the Variae, a unique letter collection that gave
witness to the sixth-century Mediterranean, as late antiquity gave
way to the early middle ages. The Variae represents thirty years of
Cassiodorus's work in civil, legal, and financial administration,
revealing his interactions with emperors and kings, bishops and
military commanders, private citizens, and even criminals. Thus,
the Variae remains among the most important sources for the history
of this pivotal period and is an indispensable resource for
understanding political and diplomatic culture, economic and legal
structure, intellectual heritage, urban landscapes, religious
worldview, and the evolution of social relations at all levels of
society during the twilight of the late-Roman state. This is the
first full translation of this masterwork into English.
