This is a complete critical edition of Cicero's Cato Maior de
Senectute (On Old Age )with an introduction and commentary. The
text is based on a fresh examination of the manuscript tradition
while the introduction aims to place the work in the context of
Cicero's writings on old age in the ancient world. The Roman and
Ciceronian qualities of the work are emphasized, rather than the
search for lost sources that occupied scholars in the past. Matters
of text, language, and content are all considered equally in the
commentary.
