Book synopsis

This book is a collection of 12 relatively unknown orations of Libanius in English translation. It includes an introduction and copious notes. Libanius was a major figure in the fourth century East as an intellectual, a professor of rhetoric, and the friend of the emperor Julian. Though he is one of the most influential authors of late antiquity, he is still relatively neglected because many of his works are not translated. This book intends to remedy to that, and focuses on some unfamiliar aspects of Libanius' personality and the way he saw the world of the fourth century.
