Klappentext This edition, the first with a full commentary in English to appear for eighty years, sensitively elucidates the subtle art with which this transformation has been accomplished, and comprehensively illustrates both Apuleius' inventive handling of his various models and sources and the exuberant and idiosyncratic Latinity which forms the vehicle for it. Zusammenfassung These rhetorical texts by Apuleius, second-century Latin writer and author of the famous novel 'Metamorphoses' or 'Golden Ass', have not been translated into English since 1909. They are some of the very few Latin speeches surviving from their century.
