About the Book

At the end of the Republic, religious, legal, and literary knowledge began to take the form of a 'Roman heritage', as broadly defined as it was indefinite. Caesar, like Cicero, thought that language, along with political institutions and laws, constituted the fundamental feature which defined the identity of a people. So, as with statutes, libraries, and the calendar, he intended to fix general laws in the sphere of language with his treatise De analogia in order to establish a solid foundation for Latina language whose evolution was driven by the need to preserve heritage and by confrontations with the linguistic habits of the allies of Rome. In this volume Garcea brings together for the first time the fragments of Caesar's De analogia with a complete translation and commentary. Contextualising the text and its quotation by Pliny in his Dubius sermo, Charisius, Priscian, and other Latin grammarians Garcea, presents the issues raised by means of comparison with the texts of Caesar's interlocutors-principally Cicero, Varro, Nigidius Figulus, and Philodemus of Gadara. The study of all these sources, most of which have never been translated into a modern language, fills a gap in the representation of the history of linguistic development in the classical period-ultimately portraying how in republican Rome, there was still no clear distinction between the different subdivisions of learning.

Review :
Alessandro Garcea succeeds admirably in bringing Caesar's project back to life. His edition with commentary of the meagre and thorny evidence is a masterpiece of philological reconstruction. thoughtful contribution to our understanding of this text ... an invaluable contribution Anyone interested in the intellectual history of the late Republic or in the history of Roman thought about the Latin language will profit from [this book]. [Garcea] should be commended for producing a useful and much needed edition, which successfully frames the few fragments surviving from De Analogia within the political and cultural contexts of the end of the republic and within contemporary scholarly debates. His work is thus of value not only to linguists, but should be consulted by a vast array of scholars. G. contributes greatly to the study of Late Republican intellectual culture ... the edition achieves high standards of accuracy and clarity in comparison with its predecessors ... the scrupulous apparatus give ample space to alternatives and prompts further reflection. It is difficult to do more than hint at the riches of the commentary. It would take a supreme effort to find anything very critical to say about this work, which represents high scholarly quality and is very informative, even for specialists.
