philosophical treatises. It offers an excellent introduction both

the realities that present-day students may encounter in regard to
friendship.This edition contains a full vocabulary, a biographical
index, and notes which give assistance ewith translation, as well
as informative and detailed coverage of language and content.

Ciceronian qualities of the work are emphasized, rather than the

commentary.
