• Resumen

  • The article discusses author John Toland's "Cicero Illustratus" in which he addressed the issue of the surviving Ciceronian spuria in the context of his editorial endeavour and raise questions: which spurious works should he include, and how would he justify his decision. Toland states that the modern scholar is provided with a resource which provides a valuable account of the spurious works still present in the Ciceronian tradition. Toland also use a combination of their textual history.
