Abstract

Abstract For we were wandering around and lost like visitors in our own city, and it was as if your books led us home, so that we could finally recognize who and where we were. You revealed the age of our homeland, the chronology of our history, you revealed the laws of the rites and the laws of the priests, you revealed our civic and military institutions, you revealed the topography of our districts and places, you revealed the names, kinds, functions, and origins of all things divine and human. Indeed you have shed a flood of light on our poets and in fact on the whole of Latin language and literature. (Cic. Acad. 1.9: editors' translation)
