On Obligations: De Officiis (Oxford World's Classics)


COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION

Cicero wrote On Obligations (De Officiis) in late 44 BC after

the assassination of Julius Caesar to provide principles of

behavior for aspiring politicians. It has subsequently played a

seminal role in the formation of ethical values in western

Christendom. Adopted by the fourth-centuryChristian

humanists, it became transmuted into the moral code of the

high Middle Ages. Thereafter, in the Renaissance from the

time of Petrarch, and in the Age of Enlightenment that

followed, it was given central prominence in discussion of the

government of states. Today, when corruption andconflict in

political life are the focus of so much public attention, On

Obligations is still the foremost guide to good conduct. This

new edition is based on a more systematic examination of the

vast manuscript tradition than has previously been attempted,

and shows with new clarity the majorcontribution to the

improvement of the text made by scribes and readers of the

later manuscripts, both in the Middle Ages and in the

Renaissance.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford

World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of

literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume

reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the

most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features,

including expertintroductions by leading authorities,

voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies

for further study, and much more.
