[Epistolae ad familiares]
M. Tul. Ciceronis Familiarum epistolarum libri XVI. Cum singulis earum argumentis, varietatibus lectionum, annotationibus, scoliis, atque observationibus doctissimorum amplius decemseptem virorum, qui doctè, ac eruditè in eas scripserunt. His Lucii Ioan. Scoppae Parthenopei, & Francisci Robortelli Vtinensis in loca quædam difficiliora Lucubrationes addidimus. Ascensii item familiaris accessit expositio, quam (cùm multis in locis mutila & manca esset,) auxilio veterum codicum adiuti, pristinæ integritati restituimus. Authorum catalogus, indexque, quo epistolarum omnium genera facilè cognoscuntur. Quae omnia multo politius, ac diligentius, quàm quæ hactenus impressa fuere, & perfecta, & emendata sunt.
