What reading level is Cicero a Sketch of His Life And Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Cicero, Petrarch's literary idol.
"Not a pagan philosopher, but a Chris- tian apostle. " early Christian Fathers secured for his works a prominent place in nearly all of the early Christian libraries. In the list of the library of King Ecgberht, given by Alculn the librarian, we find "Boethius, Pliny, Aristotle, and Cicero" ; in the library of St. Requler there were copies of Homer, Virgil, and Cicero; the abbot Lupus of Ter- riers requests a friend to bring him the fVars of Catiline and of Jug...urths, by Sallust, and the Verrines of Cicero.
His work on rhetoric (De Inventione), so far from being devoured by the moths, was the very first chosen for translation into Italian prose. It appeared in the vulgar idiom in 1257, the translator being Galeotto, the pro-' fessor of grammar in the university of Bologna. ^^ Long before he could grasp the meaning of classical Latin, Petrarch used to read the prose of Cicero aloud, revelling in the sonorous cadences and balanced periods of the mas- ter's style; and as he grew older he did his utmost to collect the manuscripts of Cicero, journeying and sending to remote parts of Europe or wherever he heard that a fragment of his favorite author was to be found.
