Catonis Disticha De Moribus

Publilius (Syrus)

"Catonis Disticha De Moribus" is a collection of moral sayings and precepts, traditionally attributed to Cato the Elder, though likely compiled later. These distichs, or pairs of lines, offer concise and memorable advice on how to live a virtuous and wise life. This edition also contains works by Publilius Syrus, Isocrates and Rodolphus Agricola.

The text provides valuable insights into the ethical and philosophical values of the late Roman Republic and early Empire. The enduring popularity of Cato's Distichs throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance testifies to their continued relevance and appeal as a guide to moral conduct. This edition is a valuable resource for students of classical literature, philosophy, and history.
