" The present edition] will long remain not only the standard
commentary on this work, but an indispensable aid to every student
of Cicero. Nisbet's choice of the neglected In Pisonem was a happy
one. The speech--'a masterpiece of misrepresentation, ' as the
editor aptly describes it--is a lively and characteristic example
of Cicero's mature oratorical style; it is full of historical
interest, and the condition of the text still offers scope to a
judicious editor.... If Nisbet's treatment of textual matters
deserves the highest praise, scarcely less admirable is the lucid
conciseness of his explanatory notes, which, especially on
historical topics, are often models of their kind."--Journal of
Roman Studies.
