Abstract

This article first briefly summarizes the state of our knowledge concerning the textual tradition of Cicero’s Tusculanae Disputationes. It then illustrates via select examples the unique value of the corrections made by an early reader of one of the work’s principal manuscripts (Vatican Vat. lat. 3246) and probes some of the questions of text-critical method that this source raises.
