Cornelius Nepos' De viris illustribus was a collection of
biographies of distinguished Romans and foreigners, originally
arranged in at least sixteen books, of which only the Liber de
excellentibus ducibus exterarum gentium has survived. In this
volume, Francesco Ginelli provides a philological, stylistic,
grammatical, and historical commentary on the first eight Vitae of
the Liber, comprising Miltiades, Themistocles, Aristides,
Pausanias, Cimon, Lysander, Alcibiades, and Thrasybulus, all
eminent generals of the fifth century BCE. Ginelli also provides a
substantial introduction, giving an overview of Nepos' life, the
key features of his works, and the manuscript tradition of the De
viris illustribus. As the first academic commentary on Nepos'
biographies of the Greek commanders of the fifth century BCE, this
book will fill a gap in Latin studies, providing a useful tool for
both students and scholars interested in Nepos, as well as those
interested in ancient biography and Latin historiography more
generally.
