This book uses a previously overlooked Neo-Latin treatise, Cicero
Illustratus, to provide insight into the status and function of the
Ciceronian tradition at the beginning of the eighteenth century,
and consequently to more broadly illuminate the fate of that
tradition in the early Enlightenment. Cicero Illustratus itself is
the first subject for inquiry, mined for what its deliberately
erudite and colorfully polemical passages of scholarly stratagems
reveal about Ciceronian scholarship and the motives for exploring
it within the context of early Enlightenment thought. It also
includes an analysis of the role played by the Ciceronian tradition
in the broader political and radical movements that existed in the
Enlightenment, with particular attention paid to Cicero's
unexpectedly prominent position in major political and
philosophical Republican and Erastian works. The subject of this
book together with the conclusions reached will provide scholars
and students with crucial new material relating to the classical
tradition, the history of scholarship, and the intellectual history
of the early Enlightenment.
