Brill, Leiden (...), 1990. 2nd revised and enlarged ed. XII,459p. Paperback. (Rare). 'C. is concerned, as she says, not with doctrinal viability but with influence - how Stoicism was used, or featured (sometimes unconsciously) in a variety of writers from grammarians such as Varro, through to poets, historians, and Church Fathers. Writing primarily as a Medievalist, C. proclaims two main objectives: first, to show how Stoic influence, in cutting across the cultural boundaries of philosophy, literature, and law, has often been either exaggerated or inadequately recognized by scholars of different disciplines; secondly, C. wishes to 'orient the classical Latin writers to their medieval posterity. In appropriating Stoicism in their own works, they also became the channels of its transmission to the Latin west in he post-classical era' (vol.I, p.5). C. moves with assurance among the Latin writers, preserving a light touch with e.g. Horace and a good sense of perspective with e.g. the poetry of Virgil. (...) The scope and readability of C. makes her study a major achievement and a 'must' for library shelves.' (CHRIS EMLYN-JONES on the complete edition in two volumes, in Greece and Rome, 1987, p.104).
