Hardback. Condición: New. Letters of an imperial tutor.The literary remains of the rhetorician Marcus Cornelius Fronto (ca. AD 100-176) first came to light in 1815, when Cardinal Mai, then prefect of the Ambrosian Library in Milan, discovered that beneath an account of the Acts of the first Council of Chalcedon in 451 had originally been written a copy of the correspondence between Fronto and members of the imperial family, including no less than three who were to wear the purple.
