Preface The study is a revised and expanded version of my Ph.D. dissertation, which was defended at Moscow Lomonossov University in December 2003. In the course of this work I have received much help and advice. I would like to thank Hans-Christian Günther for his guidance during the course of this project. I am grateful to Paul Gerhard Schmidt and the late Josef Delz for their challenging and instructive comments. I am also in debt to Mario Geymonat, to Nigel W ilson and to Dirk Obbink for their intellectual as well as practical help. In Russia Alexander Evgenjevich Kuznetsov , Dmitrij Evgenjevich Afinogenov, and Michael Michaelovich Pozdnev have all been extremely knowledgeable and supportive advisers throughout. My tremendous gratitude is due to Andrej Vinogradov. Without his help this work could not have been completed. I also thank Elton Barker for his comments and kind support. I am grateful to Susan Reynolds who kindly allowed me to use the manuscript archive of the late Leighton Durham Reynolds. My warm and sincere thanks go further to the Faculty of Letters (and especially to the Department of Classical Philology) of the Moscow Lomonossov University where I studied, and to the Institute of Classics at the Albert-Ludwigs-University in Freiburg im Breisgau, and its director Bernhard Zimmermann, where this book was written.

Introduction “For the most part affairs of state evolve through private quarrels, where no citizen can conceal what kind of man he is”. 1 The comment comes from ‘Cicero’ s’ invective against ‘Sallust’, part of his rebuttal of the latter’s accusations. Rhetoric both was and remains important, helping individuals get ahead, while at the same time constituting the public discourse that in turn moulds society. This work covers the history of the text of the invectives of ‘Sallust’ against ‘Cicero’ and of ‘Cicero’ against ‘Sallust’. The text itself with an appatarus criticus and also a translation resulting from the study of the history of the text can be found in chapter 4 from page 150 to page 189. Six previously unused manuscripts have been consulted for this edition in order to add to the edition made by L. D. Reynolds in 1991. Previously used manuscripts have also been re-examined, as have those manuscripts which have not up till now been incorporated into editions of the text, though they have been referred to elsewhere. The second chapter of the work, the original scope of this study, presents the manuscript tradition of the text and also the history of the changes which arose during its transmission. The history of the printed text and, closely linked to it, the history of the attribution of authorship is considered in the third chapter. The question of the authenticity of both invectives has long troubled scholars, commencing with Quintilian’s quotation from the text as though it were authentic, through the considerations of a number of humanist commentators. This dispute continues in our own time. This first chapter is not intended as an original work of scholarship but serves as an introduction and includes general background information on invective and the rhetorical schools of Rome, with particular attention to the invectives of pseudo-Sallust and pseudo-Cicero as a product of these schools. Students at such schools might have been set the task of writing a speech against Cicero imitating Sallust, or indeed of responding to Sallust in the style of Cicero. 1

Introduction
“Will you burden our ears with your hatred; will you harass us with revolting words?” cries a Sallust. 2 Through the invectives, the dispute between these two orators has been transferred down to us in a multitude of forms, quite possibly without Cicero or Sallust being in the least aware of the literary creations let alone commentaries they have engendered. Even if not directly attributed to Cicero and Sallust, these “revolting words” shed valuable light on rhetorical training and practice in the ancient Roman world.

Chapter 1 What are the invectives against Cicero and against Sallust? The role of rhetoric in the education of students in the ancient world had been widely discussed at that time, and has also proved a topic of considerable interest in more recent scholarship. Though this work will not concentrate on the subject of the role of rhetoric in ancient education, it is important to point to a number of the features of the ancient system of education that permitted the creation and attribution of speeches such as these invectives. It is for this reason that the following pages provide a brief resume of rhetorical education and in particular of the rhetorical schools of ancient Rome, based as they were on the earlier example of the ancient Greek world.3 Students at these rhetorical schools were given the task of composing speeches or declamations in the voice of another – in most cases widely known – figure, Cicero and Sallust being obvious examples. 4 Imitation was seen in a very different light in ancient as opposed to modern literature. Thus, in the ancient world, imitation of a literary model’s style was widely praised. Students would learn to imitate these models, imitation providing a sound training for their future careers. Ever since antiquity , the invective against Sallust was commonly regarded as non-Ciceronian, a rhetorical exercise, the product of the environment described above.5 The invective against Cicero on the other hand has produced a furious discussion spanning centuries as will be discussed in the third chapter of this work.6 Without delving deeper into the question of authenticity at this point, it should be noted that most present-day scholars do not regard the invective to be Sallustian, but rather a typical example of the type of rhetorical exercise in which the Roman educational system excelled. 3 4 5 6

Rhetoric as a central part of Roman education 1.1.1
Declamatio
Rhetoric came to Rome from the Greek world. Following on from Alexander’s conquests at the end of the 4 th century BC, Greek culture spread throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. Greek became the lingua franca of trade, politics and scholarship. Schools of rhetoric sprouted up with the remarkable regularity of ancient theatres, wherever Greek inf luence established itself. As the standard form of further education these rhetorical schools trained orators and writers; indeed, their inf luence was witnessed precisely in such theatres, in Greek and also particularly in Roman literature.7 There were forms of practical rhetorical training in Rome even before the extensive influence of Greek rhetorical theory there. 8 However already by the time of the death of Cato the Elder in 149BC, with Greek rhetoric laying down roots in Rome, conservatives felt the threat of this potentially revolutionary tool that could weaken aristocratic control over the organs of state. Thus there was a conservative backlash against rhetorical theory and also against those teachers who brought it to Rome from the Greek world. Partly as a result of these negative sentiments the main teachers of rhetoric in Rome remained Greeks for quite some time. Even though the first Roman who broke the trend was Lucius Plotius Gallus, 9 who was active when Cicero was young, the profession would seem to have acquired an air of respectability only later.10 Cicero and Quintilian were the two Latin authors whose judgment of the place of rhetoric in education had the greatest influence in the Roman world. Cicero’s De oratore includes a section on the education of the orator. With Cicero being a major source for Quintilian’ s work, it is not surprising that the Institutio deals extensively with the issue of education, adding a description of the polished orator, end-product of a wellrounded rhetorical training. Quintilian proposed that the student study philosophy, music, even astronomy, and also emphasised the need for ex7 See Kennedy 1994, 81 ff.; Corbeill 2007, 70. 8 See Sussman 1978, 4. 9 In ca. 92 BC.

tensive reading. 11 The focal point of his educational ideas was however rhetoric.12 The most important task in the classroom was to deliver a declamatory speech. Students acquired practical experience by declaiming in the classroom and this trained them for speaking in public. This exercise was called , or declamatio. The instructor selected a topic, discussed different ways of approaching it and then declaimed a model speech. 13 The use of the termdeclamatio to describe rhetorical exercises seems to have been first applied to a type of vocal exercise, the word making its initial appearance in the Rhetorica ad Herennium, in other words in the early 80s BC, in exactly such a context.14 The term ‘declamare’ as it first appeared in Cicero’s Pro Sexto Roscio Amerino (80 BC), signified a rhetorical exercise stressing delivery.15 Declamare and declamatio at the beginning were not used to describe school exercises, but rather described an ineffective style of speech in contrast to the more eloquent orating (orare).16 In Cicero’ s time all the topics for declamatory practice were either taken from real historical events or were adapted from real legal situations or on occasion referred to daily life; by the time of the Empire the themes had become much less real; however, they still helped the student to prepare for a career in court. 17 The teaching of rhetoric in Rome was given further impetus by imperial regulations that granted rhetorical schools various privileges.18

1.1.2
Suasoria and Controversia
The subject matter chosen by the teacher for declamatory exercises was known either as suasoriae, these being declamatory exercises on an imaginary deliberative theme, or as controversiae, these being declamatory exercises on an imaginary legal theme. The suasoriae were practiced in school before the controversiae, as they were considered the easier of the two forms.19 The invectives against Cicero and against Sallust belong to the second type, the controversiae, which means that they were declamations in imitation of speeches in the Senate. The roots of the controversia are usually traced back to Aeschines, who founded a school of rhetoric on Rhodes in 330BC and seems to have assigned the practice of judicial speeches to his students. 20 Quintilian transmits the standard view of his time in claiming that controversiae were first introduced into schools at the time of Demetrius of Phalerum (c. 350–280 BC).21 As G. A. Kennedy 22 shows, the rhetorical exercises could take the form of prosopopoeia.23 In the prosopopoeia the speaker impersonated a specific individual and either provided some form of advice to another individual or engaged in a debate with himself in order to determine the required action for any given situation. The prosopopoeia frequently addressed a given individual in the second person. Orators often neglected argumentation and relied on ethos, pathos and hyperbole in the place of logic and proof. This definition suits the invectives studied here. Both the invective against Cicero and that against Sallust represent examples of prosopopoeiae. Though there were many standard controversiae, the speaker aiming for a fresh approach to traditional themes, new subjects were also constantly being invented, many involving sex and violence. 24 One explanation for such subject matter was the desire to augment adolescent boys’ interest in their studies and also no doubt to entertain audience, though it is important not to impose our conceptions of proper behaviour on the rhetors we are trying to understand. According to Suetonius, these 19 20 21 22 23 24

original controversiae were drawn from two types of subject matter , ex historiis, by which he means from fantastic, mythological or romantic tales and ex veritate ac re, which were based on real facts with the names of the localities also added.25 In all probability, the invectives studied here belong to the Augustan period.26 It was at around this time that Seneca the Elder wrote down his own recollections of the rhetores and their art for his sons, recollections that include sententiae, divisiones, and colores, consisting for the most 27 He also adds part of quotations from speakers he had heard in his youth. prefaces that elaborate on the practice of declamation and refers to the major declaimers of the time. Students of the Augustan age would have read such prefaces. Seneca states that the declamations he discusses, most dating from some twenty to thirty years after the death of Cicero, were a novelty – rem post me natam ;28 new in both subject-matter and style.29 Without delving further into what exactly Seneca meant by the term declamation, it is worth noting that rhetorical exercises had been practised in schools from 5 th century BC Greece, 30 and in Rome since Lucius Plotius Gallus had established his school of rhetoric in Rome. 31 Roman declamation had transformed from the thesis (before the time of Cicero) to the causa (contemporary with Cicero), and finally to a newer exercise, the controversia (also called by the Greek name scholastica) which arose after Seneca’ s birth. 32 Cicero’s criticism of rhetors whose declamations became displays of verbose virtuosity also points to the change from the old to the new style.33 The older controversia was a relatively simple treatment of a legal case, not necessarily dependent on reality for its subject-matter; intended primarily for practical training. It was usually delivered privately or at school, and probably balanced the need for vocal f ine-tuning, rhetorical flourishes, and sound argumentation. The newer forms of the controverCf. Suet.

siae arose from the introduction of audiences and the status of these performances as a means of entertainment. In an effort to entertain the audience, which was often composed of men with similar oratorical pretensions, the declaimers flaunted their rhetorical talents, delighting in the flamboyance of their delivery; thus embellishment and exaggeration characterised the new controversia and differentiated it from the somewhat more staple fare of the old.34 They also declaimed in such a way as to prepare themselves for the rebuttal of their opponents, ‘occasionally translating Greek texts and composing eulogies or invectives on famous men’, as Suetonius puts it.35 1.1.3
The Schools of Rhetoric in Rome
The schools of rhetoric were the final stage in the educational process of a student at Rome.36 Having previously studied in the school of a litterator where the pupil was given the rudiments of an education, and then under a grammaticus who focused on the study of Greek and Latin poets and historians, the student was ready for the more advanced approaches of the rhetor. A distinction was thus drawn between the teaching of a grammarian and the instruction of the rhetorician to whom boys might be sent from the age of twelve.37 The rhetorical schools concentrated on the study of prose writers and the techniques of argumentation and presentation including rhetorical techniques; in practice however the advanced stages of a grammatical education often overlapped with the introductory stages of an education in rhetoric. Furthermore, grammarians introduced their students to the first stages of written composition, a task that could well be continued in the rhetorical schools. As rhetorical sessions or competitions grew in popularity there was a steady transformation from the late Republic, when adults declaimed pri38 marily in private gatherings of close friends as was the case with Cicero, 34 Sussman 1978, 10.

to larger competitive gatherings of adult rhetors declaiming on the same subjects, sometimes lasting several days. 39 Thus the rhetors competed with theatrical performances, mimes and even the delights of the arena as a source of entertainment for the Roman populace. Despite its entertainment value, the primary factor in the popularity of declamation was its importance in Roman education, 40 something recognised even by Seneca the Elder with his somewhat condescending attitude.41 Though there are references to consuls, praetors, and even some senators attending the halls of the rhetors,42 these seem to have been exceptions to the norm as the schools were attended primarily by pueri and iuvenes.43 The atmosphere in such schools with their strict discipline, their institutionalised use of examples, and their varied exercises is preserved in the writings of Quintillian. T. Morgan, who studied rhetorical exercises preserved on papyrus, has argued that rhetorical exercises werefrequently employed as a means of improving oral and written skills, not necessarily only as a tool for high oratory; these surviving papyral fragments reveal that students learnt not so much the art of persuasion but rather studied various methods of articulation. 44 Thus students were trained to rewrite or re-narrate the received passive education, only later becoming active users of it. Rhetoric was it seems the vehicle for the transformation of the pupil from a passive recipient into an active user and transmitter of knowledge. Although oratory and its importance declined with the demise of the Republic, training in this skill was still considered important and comprised the fundamental element in Roman education. A thorough knowledge of rhetoric and a modicum of eloquence therefore remained indispensable for any political or even professional career under the Empire.45

1.1.4
The importance of imitation
Imitation was a basic feature of rhetoric, a fundamental principle of literary composition. A Latin canon, which included the poets Catullus, Virgil, Horace, and Ovid and the prose-writers Cicero, Sallust, and Livy steadily emer ged and later writing was richly allusive to such earlier texts. Imitatio ( «) had as its goal the determination of the features that were characteristic of some canonical author and their use as a tool in one’s own text. 46 Although Plato in his P and Aristotle in his P λ « often employed the concept of «, by which they meant the representation of objects through language and art,47 the more common usage of the term was rhetorical, revealing the dependence of one author upon another one. Memory has been known as the mother of the Muses, 48 and thus it should come as no surprise that talented poets have always been in a dialogue with the poetical tradition up until their time.49 In the Greco-Roman literary tradition, almost every author acknowledged his antecedents. 50 Thus imitatio did not have its modern negative connotation, but was rather a positive feature of any writer’s work. The thorough study and imitation of selected specimens of speech started however in the 5 th century with the sophists. Beginning in the 4 th century when regular schools of rhetoric became common and in particular with Isocrates, the most outstanding of Gor gias’ students, it was thought that a student who had some natural capacity could be educated further through imitation and practice. Isocrates himself provides examples for imitation. His students wrote speeches, which he corrected 46 Conte-Most 1996, 749. See also Clark 1951, 1 1–22; Clark 1957, 144–176; De

and improved. A success ful imitation was for Isocrates more important than thematic originality.51 In ancient schools pupils used to exercise with canonical texts which they learnt by heart or paraphrased or translated, selecting interesting excerpts and writing commentaries on them or comparing them with other texts. They would frequently rewrite such texts in the style of other authors. And all these techniques would be employed not only with prose writers but also with poetry.52 Ancient rhetoricians and pedagogues discussed the methods and also the dangers of imitatio; one of the most interesting surviving treatments of the subject is by Dionysius of Halicarnassus, who lived and worked in Rome during the Augustan period. Dionysius challenged the stylistic standards of his immediate predecessors and instead proposed a return to the Attic style of the 5 th and 4 th century BC from Thucydides to Demosthenes. Imitating these super-models thus became an essential element in the teaching of rhetoric. The corpus of acceptable paradigms was referred to as , the books;53 a pagan parallel to the Jewish and Christian scriptures, as D. A. Russell points out.54 The rhetorical culture of the first four centuries AD was indeed a civilization of ‘the books’. Dionysius of Halicarnassus wrote three books on the subject: the f irst discussed the character of the process, the second listed desired models and the third described how imitation should be carried out (« ).55 Other ancient works written on the theme of literary and rhetorical imitation were Rhetorica ad Her ennium,56 Cicero’s rhetorical essays, 57 the Controversiae of Seneca the Elder, the letters of Seneca the Younger,58 ‘On the Sublime’ ,59 and Quintilian. 60 Quintilian made a detailed list of useful authors and added his own considerations on the topic. Dionysius and Quintilian were concerned with the use of imitation as a means to teaching rhetoric, and particularly as a means towards acquiring verbal

aptitude; indeed the theories developed by these scholars come close to modern theories on intertextuality. Allusion played a leading role in these early literary theories; via allusions later authors could demonstrate that they belonged to the same genre as an earlier one. Parody was however neglected as ancient imitation always involved admiration.61 Ancient discussions of imitation understand the term to mean emulation combined with rivalry ( «, aemulatio), not simple dependence; they recommended the critical study of a variety of models in order to help the student or author embody the prototype into his own writings. Before aemulatio became a theoretic term in 1 st century AD, rhetoricians used imitari and aemulari as synonyms.62 Thus the respect for and imitation of predecessors was a basic element in ancient education, and the invectives against Cicero and Sallust, which imitate the stylistic features of both writers, can be regarded in this context as typical and necessary products of the educational tradition of their time.
1.2
Generic features of invective
“Invective” (invectiva, from oratio invectiva, from invehor) means abusive speech, or refers to an abusive written text. The word appeared in this form remarkably late, no earlier than the 4 th century AD.63 Rhetoricians, grammarians and scholiasts used the adjective invectivus, but as a noun the word invectiva was first fixed in its modern meaning in Tyrannius Rufinus of Aquileia 64 (ca. AD 345–410), and in the grammarian Diomedes 65 (2nd half of the 4 th century AD) and Cledonius 66 (5 th century AD).67 61 It is important to bear in mind that while mimesis was praised, plagiarism, termed or furta, was considered abhorrent. Cf. Russell 1979, 11. 62 See Bauer 1992, 141 ff. 63 For a thorough and detailed analysis of invective in Ancient literature, see: 64 65 66 67

Powell 2007, 1, who argues that the word invectiva occurred first in Ammianus Marcellinus (ca. AD 330–ca. 395). Ammianus used the expression oratio invectica in RG 21, 10, 7, volumen invectivum in RG 22, 14, 2, the neuter plural invectiva in RG 28, 1, 20. It is difficult to prove who was in fact irst, f but it would seem that the word used as a term in this sense appeared around the middle of the 4th century AD.
1.2
Generic features of invective

Though the late appearance of oratio invectiva as a term is interesting in itself, the practice long pre-existed its characterisation, as can be seen in the other terms used for this form of attacking speech. Invective is a literary form that aims to humiliate its object in public by any possible means and which addresses the object by name. 68 The concept of invective was of course broader than just a form of speech as it stemmed from the ur ge to disparage, termed « in Greek and vituperatio in Latin. 69 A vituperatio was supposed to be the opposite of a speech of praise ( laus), rather than stressing virtues, like prudence, justice, courage etc., it was their absence that was emphasized. 70 There are a whole range of terms linked to this process both in Greek and Latin, each with its own specific associations, examples being: , «, , «, , contumelia, convicium, detrectatio, exprobatio, infamatio, iniuria, maledictio, oppr obrium, reprehensio etc. Quintilian refers to Aristotle and Theophrastus who claim that laus and vituperatio are not relevant to the world of practice (parte negotiali) and belong only to the epideictic. However, Roman custom, says Quintilian, had found a place for them in the practical field (negotiis).71 Roman invective was built on Greek rhetorical rules. Though it is sometimes possible to outline the component parts of an invective speech, in practice we see that there are a number of dif ferent potential variations on this rhetorical prototype. 72 Two almost contemporary textbooks, Rhetorica ad Her ennium and Cicero’ s De inventione, both provide a list of sorts with topics for speeches of praise or of reproach. These topics can be gathered into three groups: 1) external elements, such as birth, education, citizenship etc.; 2) physical attributes like strength, weakness etc.; and, 3) the virtutes animi and their opposites.73 The headings numerated by the grammarian and rhetorician Aelius Festus Aphthonius (3 rd century AD) can also serve as markers of the

Powell points out that this is “a useful starting-point for consideration of the role of praise and vituperation in Roman oratory”. See Powell 2007, 4. See Levy 1946, 58. Craig 2004, 188 f.

Chapter 1

traditional patterns of invective. 74 Six invective are outlined in Aphthonius:
, or Prologue; then Narration ( «) follows, including: «, or Race and Genealogy; $ φ, or Nurture and Education; !" «, or Deeds; # «, or Comparison; and, f inally, % «, or Epilogue, which concludes the invective. 75 However, from the standard six in Aphthonius the number of conventional themes of invective has increased to seventeen following the thorough analysis of a number of modern scholars. 76 The latest list of , compiled by Ch. Craig, includes: 1) embarrassing family origins; 2) being unworthy of one’s family; 3) physical appearance; 4) eccentricity of dress; 5) gluttony and drunkenness, possibly leading to acts of crudelitas and libido; 6) hypocrisy for appearing virtuous; 7) avarice, possibly linked with prodigality; 8) taking bribes; 9) pretentiousness; 10) sexual misconduct; 11) hostility to family; 12) cowardice in war; 13) squandering of one’ s patrimony or financial embarrassment; 14) aspiring toregnum or tyranny, associated with vis, libido, superbia , and crudelitas; 15) cruelty to citizens and allies; 16) plunder of private and public property; 17) oratorical ineptitude. Each of these could be employed in any of the possible literary forms of invective and did not necessarily follow a set order. Thus they could be used in a Senate speech, in the Forum, in an iambic poem, a politic pamphlet, an epigram, or even an essay. The first and main task of any invective was to convince the audience, in other words to make the accusation (or should we say slander?) stick. All too often, convincing was more important than the truth of the accusations. At the same time though, the orator wished to elicit pleasure and to amuse his audience. These same factors underlie the personal attacks of Old Comedy , insulting songs at weddings (called Fescennini from the Etruscan town of Fescennia near Falerii),77 political caricatures, and also the origin and existence of the iambic genre itself, which was originally based on the urge to rebuke and scold. Finally, two further features, concerning Roman invective in general, and the invectives studied here in particular , should be noted. First, it seems to have been considerably more ef ficient to attack the character 74 RG 2.36.7–19 (Aphthonius; cf. 2.40.14–17). 75 See also Cizek 1994, 294 ff. 76 Nisbet (1961, 192ff.) offered a list of such loci, partly based on the register that
Süss (1910, 245 ff.) had compiled for the Greek orators. Later Merrill (1975, 203 f.) collected Cicero’ s loci, with their antecedents in Latin rhetoric. Craig combined all these lists, see Craig 2004, 190 f.; see also Arena 2007, 150. 77 Cf. Catull. 61, 119–148.

of one’s political opponent, rather than his political principles; that is why political deeds, touched in both invectives, serve as evidence of the quality of their doer .78 Secondly, Roman invective had a conventional character and did not pay much attention to historical truth. 79 As will be shown in the commentary to the invectives, oratorical flourishes are frequently preferred to the preservation of a sense of reality. The existence of repeated legislation against « reveals how important invective was in both Greece and Rome.80
1.3 The invectives of Sallust as a part of the rhetorical tradition It is important to bear in mind that the attribution of texts to specif ic authors was frequently bona fide in the ancient world, without this being considered a deceit. A novice to the world of literature would credit his works to his teacher ’s name rather than to his own, especially if he adopted themes, composition or style from his instructor . Composing a speech according to the style of some famous orator was standard practice. An example of such exercises may be seen in Seneca’ s Suasoriae. Seneca gives seven examples of Suasoriae, and two of these concern Cicero’s last hours. 81 Historical accuracy was not considered to be significant; in the seventh suasoria Cicero is imagined deliberating whether to burn his writings when he is told that he could save his life by doing so. There is however no reason to believe he was in reality given such a choice. This absence of historical accuracy in Seneca mirrors the absence of historical accuracy in the invectives against Cicero and Sallust we are considering here. Seneca’s Suasoriae reveal Cicero’s influence on the generation after his death, Cicero being presented as a martyr. But Cicero was not always held in such esteem;82 it was also apparently common practice to compose declamations in answer to Cicero’s speeches; the rhetoricians Messala and 78 See especially Dunkle 1967, 171. 79 Cf. Nisbet 1961, 192 ff.; Arena 2007, 157 f. This does not mean however that
when a case was heard in court the advocates did not deliver speeches in order to negate false accusations. See Powell 2007, 7f. For a discussion of the credibility of Roman invectives, see Powell 2007, 19 f. 80 Watson, 1996, 762. 81 Sen. Suas. 6–7. 82 See Gwynn 1964, 160 f.

Asinius Pollio, for example, writing speeches in defence of Catiline,83 and the rhetorician Cestius Pius writing a response to Cicero’ s Pro Milone. 84 Brutus wrote a Pro Milone of his own as a school exercise. 85 Sometimes these speeches were attributed to some well-known orator of Cicero’ s day: Asconius Pedianus referred to two such speeches in answer to Cicero’s In toga candida, one attributed to Catiline, the other to Gaius Antonius.86 The invectives examined here are, in all probability , examples of such imaginary speeches, created in the context of the rhetorical schools of Rome; they are exercises or declamations of rhetoricians in a rhetorical school, probably during the Augustan period when the taste for the Ciceronian was at a low ebb. 87 They exhibit all the features of canonical invective as indicated by the scholars:88 the invective against Cicero contains exordium (1, 1), narratio (or tractatio) (1, 2 – 3, 6), and peroratio (4, 7). At the end of the exordium and inside the narratio we have references to genealogy and education (1, 1–2; 3, 4) and to deeds (1, 2– 4, 7). The invective against Sallust contains exordium (1, 1 – 1, 3), narratio (2, 4 – 8, 22), andperoratio (8, 22). In theexordium and on two occasions in the narratio there are references to genealogy and childhood (1, 1; 2,4; 5, 13) and to deeds (5, 13 – 8, 21). The invective against Sallust is presented as a response by Cicero to Sallust’ s invective against Cicero, 89 which is why it includes Cicero’s apologies, a denial of Sallust’s claims (2, 5 – 4, 12) followed by an attack on Sallust himself (5, 13 – 8, 22). 90 It is worth noting here also that Sallust’ s invectives were not always termed invectives even in the manuscripts as they survive today . Some manuscripts use the term declamatio, others oratio in, yet others, more simply, Sallustius in Ciceronem et invicem. The term invectiva for both speeches was however fixed in one of the oldest manuscripts H (10th century).91 83 Quint. 10, 1, 24. On Republican speeches of doubtful authenticity see Clift 1945,

The historical context of the invectives

The historical context of the invectives
The invectives were meant to represent speeches in the Senate, the f irst by Sallust against Cicero, the second Cicero’s reply to Sallust. The invective against Cicero is a short, bitter attack on his private life, full of allusions to the years after his return from exile. It depicts the political situation in Rome in the autumn of 54 BC.92 The invective against Sallust on the other hand does not limit itself to the same time-scale but rather covers the entire life of Sallust. Cicero returned from his exile in Macedonia in 57 BC with Pompey’s support and with the support of the tribune T itus Annius Milo. He was warmly welcomed on his return both in Italy and in Rome. In 56 Caesar , Pompey and Crassus renewed their political union, 93 and Cicero had to speak on a public platform in favour of Caesar,94 as seen in the De provinciis consularibus. In 54 he even defended supporters of the Three, who had previously been his enemies, in court: Publius Vatinius (praetor in 55) successfully and Aulus Gabinius (consul in 58), who had incurred Cicero’ s hatred for scorning his appeals for help when he was sent into exile in 58, unsuccessfully. The invective against Cicero reflects the situation after Cicero’s defence of Vatinius, but before he had become the advocate for Gabinius, since the case involving Gabinius is not mentioned.95 Cicero was intimidated by the fiasco of his failed defence of Milo in a court filled to the brim with Pompey’s troops. Milo, a candidate of the Senate, was impeached for the murder of Clodius in the via Appia in January of 52 BC. This was the year that Sallust’s political career begins.96 Sallust’s family was of plebeian origin and he held the office of Tribune of the Commons in 52 BC. The consular elections were not held that year as Clodius was killed on Milo’s orders. While Cicero defended Milo, Sallust took sides 92 For a detailed analysis of the historical background, see Bolaf fi 1949, Büchner

against Cicero and Milo. 97 Sallust was in Rome when his somewhat undistinguished political career culminated in his expulsion from the Senate in 51 BC by the censors Appius Claudius Pulcher and Calpurnius Piso.98 In 49 BC Sallust was reappointed by Caesar to a quaestorship, and became once more a member of the Senate. In 48BC he commanded one of Caesar’s legions in Illyricum and was defeated. 99 In 47 he was again unsuccessful in Campania,100 but in 46 as a praetor he succeeded in completing his mission on the island of Circina 101 and was rewarded with a posting as governor of Numidia and Africa.102 After returning to Rome he was accused of extortion, but acquitted, perhaps, as the author of the invective against Sallust would have it, having bribed Caesar .103 It is certain, however, that Sallust became very wealthy indeed. The invective against Sallust refers to all these events.104

The content of the invectives
The content of the invective against Cicero
Sallust’s invective against Cicero begins with the seemingly reserved but actually supercilious statement that he would endure Cicero’s abuse if he believed that it stemmed from considered opinion rather than a diseased mind.105 Turning to the Senate, Sallust broadens his attack, for the problem, as he expostulates it, is not Cicero in and of himself, but the Roman state, people and the senators,106 who provide sustenance for such men as Cicero. The following sentence (Ubiubi M. Tullius leges iudicia rem publicam defendit) offers a none-too-subtle ironic paradox, a manoeuvre that 97 See Ascon. Pro Mil. 33, 37, 45, 49. 98 Dio Cass. 40, 63, 4. Shackleton Bailey argues, that both the censors are referred

was probably supposed to bear witness to the author ’s rhetorical dexterity; as he argues, if the state must be protected from this Cicero, it surely cannot be the case that Cicero should himself be the defender of its laws, of legal proceedings and indeed the state itself. There follows a traditional « on Cicero’ s origins, 107 a man who, pace Sallust, presents himself as if he were a relative of Scipio’s rather than a “neophyte” and a “city novice”. With this, the introductory exordium, in which Sallust declares Cicero to be not only his enemy but also the enemy of the Roman Senate, comes to a close. There follows in the second paragraph (2) another « of invective, a reference to Cicero’s youthful sexual perversity in his relations with his teacher Marcus Piso. W ith an epic grandiloquent formula from Lucretius,108 used as parody in the current invective context, Sallust proceeds to reproach the opulence of Cicero’s house, his sacrilegious wife and his incestuous daughter.109 The house had been built on the proceeds of violence and stolen booty. We have here a comparison of the homo flagitiosissimus, Cicero, with the previous owner of the house, vir clarissimus, Publius Crassus. The next passage (3) is as corrupted in its transmission, as Cicero, if we are to believe Sallust, was corrupt in his conduct of state affairs; Cicero pretends to be the guardian of the city while he is in fact its executioner.110 A further line of attack commences, this time targeting those state activities Cicero planned in conjunction with his wife T erentia; Cicero and Terentia had decided affairs of state from their home and censured conspirators with fines in reverse proportion to the favours they had rendered him in the past. It is very easy to prove whether Cicero took bribes, the attack continues, all that is needed is to calculate how much money he inherited from his father , how much he received from his trials, and with what funds he built his villas in Tusculum and Pompeii. The conclusion according to Sallust, is clear: the bulk of Cicero’s money came from the blood and deprivations of the citizens of Rome.

What are the invectives against Cicero and against Sallust?
The next passage again displays the use of irony (4). 111 It too seemingly starts as a laudation until, reading on – or rather hearing on as the original audience must have done – we find the phrase “on the contrary”, a phrase that reverses the meaning of the preceding words. The language gains considerable force through the use of a list of strong nouns without verbs, creating the effect of a battering of hail on a wintry day. A tool frequently used in invective involves the cancelling of the meaning of the noun through the use of a derogatory adjective; 112 thus, levissimus senator, mercennarius patronus (“a most unreliable senator, patron for a fee”).113 To convince his listeners, Sallust quotes ironically from Cicero’s poem “On the consulship”, trying in this way to depict a Cicero deluded, convinced of his own greatness, against all the facts. Sallust again (5) denies Cicero’s words with that same “on the contrary” (immo vero). Another quotation from the Cicero’ s poem follows, but the final word laudi is changed to linguae. Thus his “conceited tongue” 114 Cicero is stressed, no doubt to a good chuckle from the audience. is depicted as a deceitful poet who grabbed power through arms. The harangue continues, rounding of f the narratio, with a striking comparison of Cicero to the dictator Sulla. Finally Sallust prepares the conclusion to his invective (7). He paraphrases and parodies Cicero’s poems on his consulship even employing Cicero’s hexametrical rhythm: Minerva omnis artis edocuit .115 Jupiter, the kindest and the greatest of the gods, admitted Cicero to the divine 116 Ancouncil, and Italy brought him back from exile upon her shoulders. other ironic, or, rather, sarcastic, sentence follows: it starts in the form of an address, oro te Romule Arpinas , resembling the formal solemnity of a prayer and continues with the somewhat grandiose words egregia tua 111 See Koster 1980, 183, who argues that verum ut opinor, homo novus Arpinas were
a hexameter, appropriate for a panegyric to Cicero; see also to virtus est animi.
112 Koster 1980, 184. 113 This rhetorical device may be discussed in greater detail through a comparison
of the whole passage with the second letter to Caesar of Pseudo-Sallust, and also with a Latin translation of a lost passage by Lycurgus, quoted by Rutilius Lupus (cf. below ch. 3, p. 113 f.). 114 “In any dissection of Cicero the venomous and hated tongue could not easily be forgotten”, see Nisbet 1958, 31.

virtute. Exposing the huge gap between what Cicero purported himself to be and what he was in fact, Sallust addresses Cicero and asks him his position in society, his role in the state and f inally to declare his friends and his enemies. The invective thus achieves its aim through the frequently repeated idea that Cicero changed his political stance “for a fee”. Cicero is presented as a political nobody, a “totally unreliable renegade”, loyal neither the one side nor to the other.117 How then can Cicero respond to these accusations? 1.5.2
The content of the invective against Sallust
Cicero’ invective against Sallust is a more or less exact answer to the invective against Cicero. 118 It includes clear refutation of all the claims made in the first invective, and also, not to be outdone, a thorough attack on Sallust himself. The f irst paragraph (1) with its circuitous assault on his enemy has a fully Ciceronian feel. If Cicero were to deny all Sallust’ s slanders, he would have to relate his own life and deeds, thus revealing his own glory and provoking the envy of his opponents. If, on the other hand, he were to relate Sallust’ life and deeds, he would inevitably and of necessity descend to Sallust’s base level. The second paragraph (2) continues with the same theme: Cicero claims that he, in contrast to Sallust, would cause as little vexation to his audience as possible and would not stoop to “giving a false account”. Even more: he would say nothing new; all is already well known to the senators. The aim of this opening is clear: to turn Sallust’s words on himself and differentiate between Cicero’s defence and Sallust’s base attack. Cicero is now free to denigrate Sallust, while claiming not to be in the least bit interested in attacking him. Since Cicero is addressing the senators in the second paragraph he speaks about Sallust in the third person, and thus Sallust is presented as an isolated lone f igure, a fact that is stressed by the use of the pronoun unus quisque nostrum (each of us) which is opposed to Sallust himself (3).119 Sallust’s life, Cicero continues, should be judged not from his 117 Cf. Cic. 5. 118 For the question as to whether the author of the two invectives was the same per-
son, see ch. 3, p. 117 f., 121, 123 f.

words but from his character . The exordium ends with the promise to be short and a reference to Aeschines’ ‘Against Timarchus’, where it is claimed that affairs of state evolve through private disputes where no private citizen can conceal his character.120 The exordium is more extensive than that of the first invective (which again could be an imitation of Cicero’s extensiveness); in this way Cicero aimed to draw the senators’ attention and render them well disposed to his ar guments, according to the rules of rhetoric.121 The first part of thenarratio (4), again following the rules of rhetoric, examines Sallust’s origins, his «.122 Cicero asks Sallust: who were the Scipios and the Metelli before they obtained glory through their deeds and their impeccable life? And then follows up: ‘As if you were a descendent of theirs, Sallust!’ The main characteristic of the f ifth paragraph is another «, the # «,123 a canonical comparison: ego meis maioribus virtute mea praeluxi … tu tuis … magnas offudisti tenebras [With my merit I have outshone my ancestors … Whereas you … have enveloped your ancestors in utter darkness]. Cicero boasts that for his own part he prefers to live with his own actions, and not to rest contented with his ancestors’ glory; he wants to be a model for posterity in his own right. In any case these ar guments are supposed to turn Sallust’ s accusations concerning Cicero’s low birth on their head. Cicero turns to the question of his poem on his consulship (7), parrying the inferences Sallust had made in his invective. Togatus, a diplomat, he outwitted those who were armed. Rome was fortunate to have him as a consul, since he managed to put an end to the civil war . He further reminds Sallust, that on a previous occasion he had praised Cicero’s consulship in his writings.124 He then adds, transforming Sallust’s words, that he is as far from impudicitia, as Sallust himself is to pudicitia. The 8th paragraph opens with the rhetorical question, “But why should I further complain about you?” Why indeed? There follows another 120 121 122 123 124

attack on Sallust’ s education, or rather , the lack thereof, this man who does not understand that there can be no civis egr egius who is not his artibus et disciplinis eruditus ! This does not however surprise Cicero, since Sallust was, as he puts it, “slothful in the extreme and decadent”. Turning to the standard accusations concerning his wife and daughter (9), 125 Cicero parries brief ly and offensively: Sallust leads much the more irrepressible sex life. There is no need, then, to refer to his relatives, as Sallust himself provides suf ficient material for the disgrace of any man. With suchlike brevity does Cicero dispatch the accusations concerning his property: because I am worth it, or, in his own words, “I possess considerably less, than I am worth”,126 he claims. The following section (10) commences with a question addressing Cicero’s opponent: ego fugax, C. Sallusti? Cicero describes his exile as a burden he preferred to endure rather than provoking “civil disagreement for the whole of the Roman people”. He overturns Sallust’s accusation: “all of you and the Roman people came out in crowds and congratulated me on my return, with all the other days of my life, it would, when I consider it, be the best. So highly did they value me, the renegade, the patron for a fee!” 127 Cicero’s replies to Sallust’s barbs continue unabated: not “at the beck and call of any private person”, Cicero wished only for peace and “was not afraid of anything, apart from the laws”.128 In the twelfth paragraph he rounds of f his of fensive self-defence and from the thirteenth he turns openly on Sallust himself: “And now to you, Sallust”. After this dramatic moment, the first open attack returns to the commonplace of the origin. He would not bother talking about Sallust’ s father, as he could not have done anything worse for the state than to have spawned such a good-for-nothing son. There is therefore no sense in talking about Sallust’s pueritia; far better to turn directly to his adolescentia.129 Sallust procured his riches through prostituting himself, but when he became older and could not satisfy his clients any more, he was “carried away with incessant cravings wishing to try on others all those 125 126 127 128 129

things he did not consider disgusting for his own body”. Cicero proceeds through Sallust’s career (14). He was twice hauled before a judge, but having managed to scrape his way out of his predicament, he obtained the quaestorship and became infamous for his adulteries. 130 “Your audacity outfoxes our diligence”, declares Cicero in mock-triumph (15). It was due to this immorality that Sallust was expelled from the Senate and “we saw you no more, except perhaps in those military camps where all the dregs of the state flowed”, in other words he joined up with Caesar (16). After arms overwhelmed the state, Sallust was reinstated into the Senate and there became a paradigm of corruption (17). Having completed his quaestorship, Sallust found himself one of the gang described as coetus omnium vitiorum (18). His praetorship followed, and Cicero’s audience is reminded that he plundered Inner Africa; Rome’s allies had never suffered as heavily in war as they suffered during his governorship in time of peace (19). His arbitrariness knew no limits; he exhausit quantum potuit … quantum voluit . To avoid judicial proceedings he even went so far as to bribe Caesar . Here Cicero employs the same device as Sallust had done in the earlier invective: should any of these accusations be false, Sallust can refute them in front of the senators. And then, with all the grace of a boomerang in reverse swing, he retorts: “How is it that you, who could not even pawn back your father’s house, suddenly, as if in a dream became wealthy and procured very precious gardens, 131 the T iburtine country house of Caius Caesar and the rest of your properties?” 132 This « is again a # «, Cicero blaming Sallust for those very faults, which Sallust f irst hurled against him, while at the same time defending himself from the earlier attacks (19–20). In full sarcastic swing Cicero ponders whether Sallust’s high offices have rendered him unbearably arrogant, only to continue by comparing Sallust’s relatively unimportant of ficial positions to his own more substantial achievements: “Do you, Caius Sallust, think, that it is the same to be twice a senator and twice a quaestor, as to be twice a consular and twice a triumphator?” (21). Sallust, Cicero superciliously concludes in a crescendo of self-righteousness, may not speak against anybody else,

since he has so many faults of his own.133 “You”, he says, “the parasite of all others’ hospitality, the poacher in your youth of all others’ bedrooms, and later their adulterous defiler, you are a disgrace to all ordered society and an evocation of the civil war .” These few lines are a succinct summary of the whole of Cicero’s invective. The last paragraph (22) commences with a tricolon with anaphora, the thrice repeated desine; an appeal to Sallust to cease slandering people, rein in his unbridled behaviour, and discontinue weighing up all others in terms of his own ways-of-being. The invective here reaches its culmination. In the peroratio Cicero adds a brieffinis dicendi. The finis mirrors the opening, thus framing the speech. All in all, the first invective possesses a clearly defined structure according to the prototypes of the time; some , such as that of «, are mentioned in various contexts, rather than being developed in one paragraph; thus, for example, Cicero was a reperticius, accitus ac paulo ante insitus huic urbi civis, had no patrimonium and came from Lucius Crassus’ family. Nonetheless, the quotations from Cicero’s poem on his consulship and numerous parallels with Sallust’s and Cicero’s works reveal the author’s acquaintance with these texts and also his efforts to imitate, one of the basic features of the educational programmes in the rhetorical schools of the time. The second invective is much the better structured of the two.134 All of Sallust’ s accusations are countered, the introduction mirrors the conclusion framing the speech, and the sarcastic-supercilious-abusive tone, disguised as defence, is maintained from the first word to the last. Both invectives are characterised by the canonical rules of the school rhetorical tradition, where the of vituperatio are clearly recognised. No elements seem alien to this tradition; as a result these two invectives offer an important insight into the nature of rhetoric at that time. Irrespective of their authenticity , it is not irrelevant that a Quintillian, no less, could attribute such a speech to Sallust. Despite the fact that the content of the invectives seems puerile to our ears, it is important to remember that whether originally written by Cicero and Sallust or not, they

could be received by a Roman writer, and no doubt by a Roman audience, as original. In all probability however the invectives werecontroversiae, written as declamatory exercises on an imaginary legal theme set in an earlier historical context.

Chapter 2 The history of the text known as Sallust’s invectives based on collated medieval manuscripts (10th – early 14th centuries) For medieval manuscripts, the text can be represented using a stemma as in p. 29. This stemma, f irst created by Jordan, 1 then amplified by Kurfess2 and Reynolds,3 is born out by the collation of new medieval manuscripts. This chapter deals both with important previously examined manuscripts but also and indeed for the most part with newly examined manuscripts (N, I, L, Q, Z, and Mp). The mistakes of the archetype, hyparchetypes, and also in some of the individual manuscripts, especially in those cases when they are not enrolled in the stemma, i. e. are contaminated or conjectured, are analysed here on the basis of the completed stemma.4 SIGLA: consensus codicum AFKNTGBX consensus codicum CDISLHbQREZMpHOPM consensus codicum SLHbQREZMpHOPM consensus codicum REZMpHOPM consensus codicum HOPM consensus codicum REZ consensus codicum SLHbQ consensus codicum AFKN « correctiones vel coniecturae in uno vel pluribus codicibus recentioribus inventae 1 2 3 4

Archetype &:
This archetype was seriously damaged. There are two signif icant omissions and also numerous mainly insignificant mistakes by the scribe (for example the damage of a word border in Sall. 21).6 The text was also interpolated, mainly in order to improve it. Several attempts were also made by the scribe to embellish it (Cic. 4; Sall. 3). Despite the high level of damage there are novoces nihili in the text. In one instance we ifnd interlinear scholia apparently included in the text. The interpolation in Sall. 22 7 and the readings mentioned below in the hyparchetype 8 reveal that the archetype included explanations and/or variants in the text. The fact that both families ( and ) have numerous variants9 reveals the presence of some of them in the archetype as well. Interpolation: Cic. 1 praedae Eussner] perfidiae : locum M: perfidiae locum V1, locum del.

Thus parasti in Cic. 4 could be retained, as in the archetype. Furthermore, the lack of the conjunction after dubium … esse seems to be highly plausible. It is not likely that a subjunctivepararis as proposed by Jordan (or a variant without contraction paraveris, proposed by the first edition, and present, as can be seen in the collation results, in other manuscripts,10 and indeed accepted into the text by Reynolds in order to reinstate the grammatical correspondence with quin) could have been transformed in the manuscript into the contracted infinite parasti.

M. Crassi – , Kurfess C. Marii – Glarean, Gruter, Vretska, Shackleton Bailey Glarean proposed C. Marii in the place of the manuscript tradition, which reads M. Crassi. This reading was accepted by Jachmann, Vretska, and Shackleton Bailey as Cicero never belonged to the Crassus family.11 Cicero’s grandmother was aunt or sister to Marius Gratidianus’ grandmother. He in turn was the adopted son of Marius’ brother, whom Cicero refers to as propinquus noster (Off. 3, 67). 12 Jachmann points out that Cicero and Marius chose to avow their common brotherhood. Marius was from the same region as Cicero (cf. homo Arpinas ) and his background was relatively humble (cf. contemnit simultatem hominum nobilium). However , the above considerations seem somewhat irrelevant because Marius does not seem to have been a role model for Cicero. The actual manuscript reading M. Crassi refers to Marcus Licinius Crassus (115/114 – 53 BC, consul 70 and 55, triumvir) from whom Cicero bought back his own father’s old house in 62BC (Fam. 5, 6, 2). These economic relations however would not explain any allusion to some kind of a kinship relationship between Cicero and his counterpart, nor indeed would this reading add an ironic tone to the invective. 13 Taking these considerations into account, Rawson14 suggested the reading L. Crassi, and Reynolds also accepted this reading into his text. Cicero’ s uncle V iselius Aculio was one of Lucius Crassus’ best friends. Cicero and Lucius Crassus were not related, but Lucius Crassus is mentioned seven times by Cicero followed by the epithet sapientissimus. Lucius Crassus was indeed a role model for Cicero, and this reading suits the ironic context of the invective.
11 Jordan 316 refers to Corrado for whom familia means kin or clan. Jordan dis-
agrees with Kurfess’ preferred translation of familia as sort or category in other words the same kind of person asMarcus Crassus. See Jachmann 1950, 274–275; SB 367. 12 Vretska 1961, II 40. 13 Marcus’ father, Publius Licinius Crassus, consul in 97, may be mentioned here. Cf. He was widely appreciated as a military man and as a politician. He is referred to three times in the Sallustian invectives ( Cic. 2, Sall. 14, Sall. 20), on each occasion as P. Crassus. 14 Rawson 1991, 223–226.

Cic. 4 removetur a vero ( Reitzenstein), amicitia … animi: movetur ed. Ven.: removetur. aliud vero amicitia … animi : removetur [aliud vero amicitia … animi] del. Jordan Aliud ver o, which comes from the archetype, is hardly plausible and so Reitzenstein replaced it witha vero. In this way removetur receives its necessary object. A!liud" can be explained as an interpolation caused by a mistake and related to the following sentence. 15 As amicitia tantum ac virtus est animi sounds stylistically awkward, and as amicitia does not suit the context, the elimination of the whole passage aliud … animi by Jordan looks correct. The verb removetur needs an object and this would seem to be the reason why the form in the f irst edition was altered to movetur. The whole passage does not change much contextually, so Jordan’s conjecture seems probable. Shackleton Bailey proposediustitia instead of amicitia, translating the passage as “loves only justice and virtue”.16 This passage might however imitate Sallust’ s famous abstract sentences. This could be the intention either of the interpolator or of the author of the invective. Cic. 7 auctore WirzKurfessReynoldsShackletonBailey] iure !cum"17 Sall. 2 scio «] sciatis : atis del., o s.l. K Sall. 3 de eo … obiectat del. Jordan Jordan’s decision to eliminate de eo qui falsum crimen bonis obiectat is correct. The passage beginning with de is not stylistically sound. Most probably it was an explicative interlinear scholium, explaining “calumniam ferre”. Cf. Cic. Fam. 8, 8, 1: … nihil quod magis gavisurum te putem habeo quam hoc: scito C. Sempr onium Rufum … calumniam maximo plausu tulisse . However, Shackleton Bailey decided to follow the manuscript reading here, with qui instead of quod. The sense implied then is: ‘if any of us brings a false char ge against the innocent, his own conscience will convict him’.18 Sall. 3 illam] aliam : aliorum Mp: sed vitam aliam I Sall. 3 velitari Lipsius] volutari rell.: voluptari K1HOV: volutari possit l 15 The suggestion of Vretska (II 41) ab iud!icio" looks paleographically plausible,

It might have occurred by chance in Hb as a dittography after eum. Sall. 6 magistratibus !tam severus " aut … tam saevus (severus codd.) Eussner Eussner’s conjecture is mentioned in both Kurfess’ and Reynolds’ apparatus. It is not sufficiently plausible to be accepted into the text but it might nonetheless be right. His conjecture is probably based on the omission of an adjective after magistratibus. Thus, Eussner ’s reading is based on a similar mistake to that which would have appeared in the archetype at Cic. 1, where audiendo was replaced with the second dicendo. In the same way here tam saevus (or any other adjective) could be replaced by tam severus; in later manuscripts such a reduplication might be eliminated through the omission of the first tam severus.

Families and
The text, as transmitted by the medieval tradition, is divided in two branches (families and ), and the latter ( ) is much lar ger that the former (). Eight manuscripts belong to family, fifteen – to . The division of different manuscripts into hyparchetypes in family is more or less clear, as all the manuscripts, give or take a few inaccuracies, with the 25 See below p. 38, 82 f. and 97 for examples of a correct reading in and EM.

exception of B, X and N, transmit the text correctly . The interaction of manuscripts in family is less clear, partly due to contamination, partly because of arbitrary alteration to the text in some manuscripts. 2.2.1
Family (AFK+ N, T GBX)
The main defining features of family are the omission of whole words. Thus the extensive omission of a number of words in Sall. 11 is remarkable. The omission was however present in the manuscript as a marginal or interlinear scholium. In Sall. 15 the second variant of secutus to adeptus was probably originally written supra lineam. The interpolation of the predicate est can be explained by the damage to the word despectus.26 In Sall. 17 and Sall. 20 we are in all likelihood dealing with a varia lectio written supra lineam.

Archetype is characterised for the most part by certain important interpolations. There are also two simple transpositions.Sall. 7; Sall. 10; Sall. 13; Sall. 17 as well as the correct readings in the manuscripts EM or in EM, discussed below ,32 clearly show that archetype included numerous variants in the text.

Loquar had to be written supra lineam or in mar gine in archetype . In this way it is possible to explain the fact that some manuscripts stemming from various hyparchetypes include it in the text, whereas others ignore it.

V The reading of hyparchetype , or alternatively only some manuscripts of hyparchetype , coincides with the correct reading of family in Sall. 7 and Sall. 13. This could be explained by the suggestion that the reading of family was included in the text as a variant in family and accordingly, hyparchetypes and . Manuscripts E and M included the correct reading in the text (sumptus was written as a supra lineam explanation). Hyparchtype omitted this explanation, while and included it in the text.34 Sall. 17 vexavit E] vixit A2 : vetuit BX: vetavit T Archetype probably included the corrected variant vixit following on from –av–, which fell out of the text.

Hyparchetypes of the family (AFK+N, T GBX) 2.3.1
Hyparchetype (AFK+N)
Four manuscripts belong to hyparchetype . This hyparchetype was established by Reynolds in his edition of Sallust and in TT,39 where he indicated manuscripts A, F and K. A later manuscript N should be added to the group.40 Among the fundamental errors of hyparchetype are a number of transpositions, but there are several interpolations also. On two occasions hyparchetype contains the correct reading in contrast to the rest of the tradition: Cic. 4 amicitia T2] –iae : om. I It is probable that amicitiae was written in the archetype. This reading is not however relevant and it would seem to be based on a mistake. Sall. 22 petulantissime consectari FK] petulantissima consectari (consert– BX) lingua rell.:41 petulantissime consectari bonos A: bonos petulantissimis verbis consectari H b: petulantissima sectari lingua I Here there are no reasons for mechanical omission of the interpolated lingua in Sall. 22. Its absence in the reading of suggests that both in and, originally, in the word lingua was not included in the text, but in the margin or between the lines.

EP] ipsa p. r. DK HMR: ipsa p. et F: ipso p. r. A: ipsa populi romani NIMp: ipsam r. p.

In K various readings were retained in textu, probably intentionally, while A, F and N include a variant written supra lineam or in the margin. The common readings F and K can be explained by the fact that A and N included ever more variants in their texts. The readings AN against FK only twice offer the right text (Sall. 12 and Sall. 22). In other places the reading of A is closer to the correct text than the readings of FK.

The manuscript N has some contaminated readings. In all probability , the scribe used several manuscripts and among them those of hyparchetype were clearly important. There are also some common readings with family : Cic. 1 iudicia ] audacia : ac iudicia N This is a palaeographical error . In this way the scribe (or his source) wanted to explain why in the manuscripts of family the word iudicia was read wrongly. He may have thought that ac iudicia became audacia. Doubtless, he had access to manuscripts of family , which he used in this place. Cic. 2 tua ac (aut BX) dicta I ] ac (an E) dicta tua : facta tua ac dicta tua N This provides further evidence of the scribe’ s access to several manuscripts of both families, and .

Hyparchetype (T GBX)
Hyparchetype is mentioned by Reynolds f irst in TT,53 and then in his edition of Sallust. InTT Reynolds mentions three manuscripts of the hyparchetype: T, G and B. Manuscript X was found by Reynolds later and first mentioned in his edition of Sallust in 1991. He did not however use all four manuscripts in this edition, but only two of them – T and X. Hyparchetype is not the oldest one. Its oldest manuscript G was written around 11th –12th cent. The hyparchetype would seem to be from Southern Germany, Austria or Northern Italy. Hyparchetype shows few individual errors. Its main def ining features are two transpositions and an interpolation. There are some irrelevant mistakes.

The manuscript B55 was written in the 12th century in a Benedictine Abbey in Southern Bavaria, while the manuscript G56 was written on the boundary between the 11th and 12th centuries in Northern Italy. Each has individual readings but often they reveal errors common to hyparchetype . It is also worth noting that common errors within BG occur only in the invective against Cicero.

There are two places where B and T have an error in common. This may however have occurred by chance: Cic. 1 cepisti] accepisti K, ac– del. K1: coepisti BTDR Sall. 1 vos] om. BTE It is thus clear that the subdivisions within hyparchetype , as marked by Reynolds in TT 63, are correct. Manuscript T has for the most part errors common to the rest of the manuscripts of the hyparchetype, but also at the same time a considerable number of individual readings, sometimes in contrast to the rest. Manuscript G is related to B, as shown in the f irst stemma in TT. X, found later and thus not included in the first stemma, is also related to B. At the same time, both G and X have a number of individual readings in contrast to B. Might we therefore posit an unknown archetype that served as a source for B, G and X?

A later manuscript I 66 should be added to the same group. This was written in the 2 nd half of the 12 th century in Central France. It does not easily fit Reynolds’ stemma as it is extensively contaminated.67 For the most part hyparchetype remains close to the archetype, with only few errors that are significant. The reading Sall. 16 dilectum BXCD] de– rell.: deletum I1, where hyparchetype has a correct reading in common with the group BX, may be considered to have occurred by chance. There are other cases where hyparchetype has a correct reading in common with certain manuscript groups and also individual manuscripts: Sall. 6 tuenda re p. N Mp] tuendam r. p. Hb: r. p.

Manuscipt D contains only a few insignif icant errors.

Hyparchetype (S+QHb+L, RE+Z, Mp, HOPM)
Hyparchetype is the largest group of manuscripts (12 manuscripts) with a complicated transmission history , especially as far as hyparchetype is concerned (manuscripts RE+Z, Mp, HOPM).73 Hyparchetype , as shown in the stemma, is represented by two minor groups (hyparchetypes and ). In hyparchetype a number of interpolations, transpositions and omissions are significant. On two occasions hyparchetype provides a correct reading in contrast to the rest of the manuscripts: Cic. 7 quem2 ] et quem AFN V: et K Sall. 16 aut dictum IK 2] auditum NFK 1T1 : et dictum L: auditu A T2XB Interpolation: Cic. 2 res sit TG ] res sit p.

A word, or a part of the word, was probably omitted in hyparchetype and added supra lineam. Hyparchetypes and (or some manuscripts of the hyparchetypes) accepted the word into the text in a wrong form: Cic. 6 etiamne 2 Z ed. ven. ] etiam in H: etiam im- O: etiam NREMpMV1: et tam I Sall. 3 suo om.

Hyparchetype (S+QHb+L)
Four manuscripts belong to hyparchetype . Reynolds pointed to the existence of this hyparchetype in TT 74, mentioning, however , only two manuscripts, S and Hb. Two manuscripts more, L and Q, should be added to the hyparchetype. The whole group is characterised by striking individual errors. These are conscious conjectures, an attempt to recreate the authentic text. At several points the reading of the hyparchetype is correct in contrast to the rest of the transmission: Cic. 2 habites ] habitares rell.: habitatores O Sall. 8 ducis AK2 ] dicis FK1 EOMp Sall. 10 omniaque quae K 2 RV] omnia quaeque NF : omniamquamque K1: omnia quaque I: omnia quae A Sall. 10 ipsa r. p.

Manuscript L84 includes fewer interpolations. Though it has a number of individual readings, it is still characterised by very few deviations from the archetype. Conjecture: Cic. 4 parasti] paraveris Led. princ. Reynolds: parasses V: pararisJordan The reading paraveris is probably not a conjecture of editio princeps, 85 but an earlier conjecture.

Hyparchetype (RE+Z, HOPM, Mp)
Hyparchetype is one of the most complicated hyparchetypes. The transmission of this group of manuscripts belonging to the hyparchetype is unclear and the manuscripts are partly contaminated. Manuscript M, as shown by Kurfess and Reynolds, has some common readings with the manuscripts of family in contrast to other manuscripts of family . Manuscript Mp, published here for the f irst time, belongs to hyparchetype but to none of its groups. It represents an individual part of the tradition. It has a strikingly contaminated character with access to both families and . There are omissions, transpositions and one significant interpolation in hyparchetype . On two occasions hyparchetype has a correct reading in contrast to the rest of the manuscripts of the archetype: Sall. 11 in ERMMpV] om. rell.: in vos om. Hb: nos QL This word had to be written supra lineam, as it had been accepted into the text in most manuscripts of hyparchetype . Sall. 8 ullum MPMp] nullum K1: illum N HO In all probability, ullum was written in hyparchtype. Manuscripts H and O mistakenly wrote illum.

Hyparchetype (RE+Z)
Reynolds mentions a group of manuscripts called RE inTT.90 R is not included in his edition of Sallust, possibly because it is corrupted (not ended). Manuscript Z also belongs to hyparchetype .
88 In my opinion, a conjecture made by Justus Lipsius is preferable in this place
(see below p. 138). Cf. Reynolds 230.
89 There is a mistake in Reynolds’ apparatus at this point. 90 TT 350–352.

It should be pointed out that the manuscript was interrupted and has not been preserved in full. 92 Some important readings are therefore absent.

Hyparchetype (HOPM)
Hyparchetype is the most complicated group of the stemma. As mentioned by Reynolds in TT,104 the hyparchetype consists of four manuscripts – H, O, P and M. Only two of these manuscripts are included in his apparatus, manuscripts H and M. Manuscript P is in a poor state of preservation.105 Hyparchetype is characterised by f ive important interpolations. It includes a correct reading in contrast to the rest of the tradition, though this seems to have occurred by chance.106 Some readings in common with the manuscripts of family reveal the contaminated character of this hyparchetype. Manuscript M has striking individual readings.107 A correct reading of hyparchetype : Sall. 13 patrem ] patremque rell.: et ad patrem Hb Interpolation: Sall. 6 at quanto] atque quanto NMPO: atque H1 (que eras. H2) Sall. 17 qui] quos N This variant in the manuscripts of hyparchetype and in manuscript N probably occurred by analogy with the following accusative exsules. Sall. 21 idem] totidem E: tantidem I: tantundem M: tantum NHPO Sall. 21 quod KBXMp] quot AFT E: quam I: quantum N Hyparchetype (and linked to it manuscript N 108) has here a conscious individual interpolation tantum – quantum which occurred because of the repeated numeral bis.

The manuscript includes few individual readings, most of them omissions. 111 There are many mistakes revealing the scribe’s carelessness but also, at the same time, the closeness of its source to the archetype.

The history of the text known as Sallust's invectives
Manuscript H shares readings in common with manuscript M, the latter being particularly contaminated. T ranspositions and interpolations are typical of the errors shared by the two manuscripts. There are also a number of omissions and a few mistakes. On one occasion, manuscripts H and M share a correct reading in contrast to the rest of the manuscripts of hyparchetype . Both do not accept a word written supra lineam into the text: Sall. 13 quaestus EMH1Mp] quaestus sumptus R : quaestuosus sumptus H b: quaestuosi sumptus LS: quaestiosius sumptus Q: quaestus idem sumptus OH 2P: quaestus stipendia sumptus I: ad sumptus add. sed postea del.

The new manuscripts, added to the stemma here, are significant as they not only reveal a broader transmission field, but also anticipate a number of important conjectures made by the editors of the later editions (see chapter 3).

Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives (incunabula and 16th–20th centuries) 3.1 3.1.1
Authorship of the invectives
Authorship of the invectives in antiquity
The question of the attribution of the invectives is a complicated one; it is important therefore at the outset to note that the signif icance of the invectives is not diminished if they are not attributed to Sallust and Cicero. On the contrary, if they can be shown to be standard rhetorical exercises for their time, their importance for the historian and philologist attempting to understand the role and forms of rhetoric in ancient Rome may be even greater. Quintilian provides the researcher with external evidence. He twice quotes from the invective against Cicero: Quid? Non Sallustius derecto ad Ciceronem, in quem ipsum dicebat, usus est principio, et quidem protinus: ‘graviter et iniquo animo maledicta tua paterer, M.Tulli’, sicut Cicero fecerat in Catilinam: ‘quo usque tandem abutere’?1 How’s that? Did Sallust not commence his speech against Cicero by stating directly “It would be hard for me to put up with your abuse, Marcus Tullius, and it would bother me”, as Cicero had done against Catilina, declaring, “until when will you mistreat”? … Etiam in personae fictione accidere quidam idem putaverunt, ut… apud Sallustium in Ciceronem ‘o Romule Arpinas’ …2 Some people thought the same device could occur infictio personae, as … Sallust does against Cicero “Oh Romulus of Arpinum” …
1 2
Quint. 4, 1, 68. Quoted from Cic. 1. Quint. 9, 3, 89. Quoted from Cic. 7. Quintilian proceeds to quote from the same fragments of Cicero’s poetry as we find in the invectives, cf. Quint. 9, 4, 41 and 11, 1, 24. Cf. also Iuv. Sat. X 122. Cf. also Quint. 11, 1, 24 and Cic. 7 concerning Cicero’s relationship to Minerva and Jupiter. See p. 158–159.
112 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives In Servius’ transmission of his commentary to V irgil’s Aeneas, one manuscript3 also quotes from the invective against Cicero: Nefas esse credi dictum est de T ullio, [quod convicium a Sallustio Ciceronis inimico natum est, qui de illo inquit: “filia matris paelex”].4 It is – so they say – outrageous to believe about Cicero [that the “daughter was a rival to her mother”. This was Sallust’ s slander, following on from the start of his quarrel with his enemy Cicero.]
The ancient tradition thus attributed the invective against Cicero to Sallust, something that is important in itself for our understanding of ancient rhetoric. For later scribes and editors, Quintilian’ s opinion proved to be one of the main ar guments for the attribution of the invective to Sallust. The second invective however was never attributed to Cicero – perhaps considered below him – and so the question of its authenticity has rarely been discussed as will be seen below. The grammarian Diomedes attributed the invective against Sallust to a certain Didius: In passivo autem declinatur edor ederis estur; participium praeteritum esus. Item ambedor et comedor … de cuius perfecto ambigitur apud veteres, comestus an comesus et comesurus. Sed Didius ait de Sallustio ‘comesto patrimonio’ …5 In the passive voice edor is declined edor – ederis – estur and its past participle is esus. The same is true of ambedor and comedor … the perfect form of this last verb is ambiguous in the Ancients, rendered comestus, or comesus and comesurus. But as Didius said concerning Sallust: “inheritance consumed” …
This attribution has not however been generally accepted. 6 For the most part, the text of the second invective was transmitted along with the ifrst, and so, in the earliest manuscripts, we find it referred to as “the invective of Cicero against Sallust”. 3

Manuscript D (Paris. Bibl. Nat. 7965, see Servius ed. by G. Thilo and H. Hagen, v. I, 1881, XCIff.). Cf. Serv. In Aen. VI, 623 (ed. by G. Thilo and H. Hagen, .vII, 1884, 88). In his first two editions of the invectives ( 11914, 21950) the passage from Servius in testimonia is given by Kurfess in quadrate brackets, while in the folowing editions (31958, 41962, 51970) the same passage is given without quadrate brackets. It should however in any case be clear that as this is a doubtful passage in Servius, it cannot be used as evidence of a reference to the text of the invective. Cf. Ernout 53, Pasoli 1989 (see App. Ed. p. 203), 23 f., Pasoli 1974, 169. Quoted from Cic. 2. Art. Gram. I. In: Gram. Lat. (ed. Keil) I 387, 6. Quoted from Sall. 20. There are some exceptions though. Thus see e.g. Schmidt 1972, 1517.
3.1
Authorship of the invectives
113
Also of interest as far as the question of authorship of the invectives is concerned is the fact that a passage from the invective against Cicero is clearly similar to a passage from the second letter to Caesar and to a passage from the rhetorician of the late Augustan period Rutilius Lupus, who gives a Latin translation of a lost passage by Lycurgus:7 Cic. 5: immo vero homo levissimus, supplex inimicis, amicis contumeliosus, modo harum, modo illarum partium, f idus nemini, levissimus senator, mercennarius patronus, cuius nulla pars corporis a turpitudine vacat, lingua vana, manus rapacissimae, gula immensa, pedes fugaces: quae honeste nominari non possunt, inhonestissima. But on the contrary this man is totally unreliable, deferential with his enemies, abusive to his friends, one moment he supports one side, at the next the other, loyal to nobody, a thoroughly undependable senator, a patron for a fee; there is no part of his body that does not cause distaste: his conceited tongue, his rapacious hands, his elephantine gullet, his scampering feet; those parts which cannot gracefully be referred to, are in his case most especially disgraceful. Epist. ad Caes. ii 9, 2: An L. Domiti magna vis est,quoius nullum membrum a flagitio aut facinore vacat? Lingua vana, manus cruentae, pedes fugaces, quae honeste nominari nequeunt inhonestissima. Does Lucius Domitius have great power? He has no member that does not cause shame or offence: his conceited tongue, his bloody hands, his scampering feet; that or gan which cannot be considered respectable, is in his case most extraordinarily disgraceful. Rutil. Schemata lexeos i 18: M «. Hoc schema singulas res separatim disponendo et suum cuique proprium tribuendo magnam efficere utilitatem et inlustrem consuevit. L ycurgi: ‘Cuius omnes corporis partes ad nequitiam sunt appositissimae: oculi ad petulantem lasciviam, manus ad rapinam, venter ad aviditatem, membra, quae non possumus honeste appellare, ad omne genus corruptelae, pedes ad fugam, prorsus ut aut ex hoc vitia aut ipse ex vitiis ortus videatur.’ M « (Dividing). The device used to considerable gain and merit for the distribution of separate things and the allotting of each to its own. As in Lycurgus: ‘all parts of his body are most suited for wrongdoing: his eyes for impertinent wantonness, his hands for grabbing, his belly for greed, his members, which cannot be considered respectable are suitable for all forms of corruption, his feet for scampering, indeed it is difficult to ascertain whether the faults were born from him or he from his faults.’
Thus both the invective and the letter incorporate this passage from Rutilius, all be it in a modif ied form. In all probability the passage from Rutilius was used as an exemplum in the rhetorical schools from the 7

114 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives Augustan period. The passage in the invective would seem to be a quotation by memory of this text, learnt by heart at some earlier stage. It is therefore evident that the author of the invective against Cicero had access to this particular letter to Caesar, or on the contrary, as suggested by Syme, the author of Epist. II copied the invective.8 It is also clear that the author of the invective (whether he be the same as the author of Epist. II or not) had access to Rutilius’ (or even to L ycurgus’) text. As Nisbet argues, it cannot be excluded that even Sallust himself might imitate Lycurgus or employ a commonplace turn of phrase. 9 In any case both these ‘Sallustian’ passages must be derived from the lost speech of Lycurgus. There is no further evidence in antiquity concerning the authorship of the invectives. 3.1.2
Question of the authorship of the invectives in the 15th and 16th centuries
The first reference to the invectives in modern times seems to be in the research of a humanist from Padua, Sicco Polenton. 10 In 1413 he added both invectives to his collection of fourteen of Cicero’ s speeches. 11 Twenty-five years later he issued an essay on Famous Latin Authors, 12 the earliest history of Roman literature in modern times, where he considered the relationship between Sallust and Cicero. Both invectives were considered by Sicco to be authentic.13 In all the earliest editions of Sallust the invectives are regarded as clearly authentic; whenever any kind of analysis was attempted, it was in order Cf. Syme 1964, 349. Nisbet 1958, 32. See Schindel 1980a, 90 f.; Ullman 1955, 56 ff. Asconius Pedianus: Commentarii in orationes Ciceronis, ed. Hieronymus Squarzaficus.

to place the content of the invectives into the context of Cicero’ s and Sallust’s lives and in particular in the context of their private enmity.14 In the biography of Sallust written by the Florentine humanist Pietro Crinito and published alongside the edition by Aldus in Venice in 1509,15 we find the first attempts at criticism of the authorship of the work.16 However, Crinito concluded that the invectives were indeed written by Sallust and Cicero. The edition of Sallust, printed in Venice in 1513, 17 came out with a new commentary, that of Josse Bade. This commentary to the whole Sallust’s corpus, written in 1504, was widely acclaimed and was reprinted several times in Venice, Paris, Lion, and Basel up until the end of the 16 th century.18 It does not refer however to the problem of authenticity , unlike a later edition which come out slightly later , also by Bade. This new separate edition of the invectives which was published in Paris in 1532, with a historical commentary by François Du Bois,19 added an argumentum to the invective against Cicero, where François Du Bois tries to explain the difficulties due to the ambiguities in both the speeches. He ar gues that both these speeches were declaimed spontaneously in the Senate, without any written preparation. The invective against Sallust was not written by Cicero himself according to Bade, but rather by his secretary , thus explaining its imperfections, at least compared to his other speeches. In 1535 the invectives were printed in Paris with a commentary by Jammetius Textor,20 who considered both invectives authentic and referred this mutual abusing to the time of the trial of Clodius in 52 BC, where Sallust was Cicero’s opponent.21 14 Cf.

116 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives 22 that included, In Venice in 1546 there appeared a further edition of Sallust in addition to the works of Sallust, Cicero’ s speeches against Catilina, Catilina’s purported responses to Cicero and a speech by Catilina against Porcius Latro. The edition also included thorough and detailed commentaries to the invectives written by François Du Bois and Heinrich Glarean (the latter’s commentary having been composed in 1538). Glarean argues that the only firm basis for considering the invective to be genuine is the authority of Quintilian, adding, however , that it would appear most unlikely that such a speech might have been delivered in the Senate.
In 1553 the Florentine Hellenist Pietro Vettori decisively refuted Sallust’s authorship of the invective against Cicero. 23 His edition of Sallust in 1576 does not include invectives.24 Shortly thereafter in 1555 the Italian humanist Sebastiano Corrado25 posed the question of the authorship of the invectives. Corrado accepted the ancient view that the invective against Sallust was not by Cicero, and also denied Sallust’ s authorship of the invective against Cicero. 26 Corrado wrote a work on Cicero where he commented and explained dubious and dif ficult passages from Cicero’ s texts. 27 Quaestura is 22 C.

written as a dialogue with three participants: Egnatius (in all probability Corrado’ s teacher from V enice), Pierius V alerianus and Corradus himself. This discussion on the authorship of Sallust’ s invectives involved Egnatius and Corradus. Egnatius ar gued that Sallust declaimed a speech in the Senate against Cicero, which was followed by Cicero’ s reply, his invective against Sallust. Corradus on the other hand doubted the genuineness of both these texts. Egnatius in turn agreed that the Latin style was less impressive than might be expected, but he defended the traditional point of view , appealing to those authorities that considered it to be genuine. Corradus then rallies his ar guments with an extensive monologue on the question of authorship. 28 Quintilian, he retorts, was either mistaken or engaged in f lattering some friend of his, most probably an orator.29 He referred to Seneca the Elder, who provides evidence that in the f irst century of our era there were many orators who wrote speeches pro and contra Cicero.30 His final judgment is categorical: Ut enim mihi videntur alicuius declamatoris et unius, et eiusdem fortasse Latronis dictionem, ita nihil minus, quam Sallustii, vel Ciceronis genus dicendi referre, vel etiam redolere … [In my opinion these speeches were written by one and the same orator , possibly by Latro, as there is nothing here that could refer to or even remind one of Sallust’s or indeed of Cicero’s turn of phrase …]
Corradus sums up his ar guments: the speech against Cicero could not have been written by Sallust as (1) some phrases do not suit Sallust’ s style, including words and turns of phrase that would have been completely alien to Sallust, or others that would never have been used in the Senate and so on; (2) the text’s rhythm feels raw, with insufficient finesse, something that can not be considered the case with Sallust’ s standard somewhat archaising style; (3) the text does not seem to begin in a reasonable way, commencing with the rhetorically weak respondebo tibi , but nor does it continue as might logically be expected.31

118 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives Later, in a full edition of Sallust with a commentary ,32 printed in Christophe Plantin’s publishing house in Antwerp in 1564, the editor refers to Quintilian as proof of the authenticity of the text.33 The seventh of the eight lectures given by Justus Lipsius at the University of Jena between 1572 and 1574 considered the topic of authorship of the invectives.34 An orator not without wit (rabula haud plane ineptus) wrote them as an exercise in style, he claimed. 35 Lipsius did not want to reproduce either Vettori’s or Corrado’s arguments and thus proposed his own which might be summarised as follows: (1) the tonality of the speeches was not appropriate either for the Senate or for the Roman Court, and thus they could not have been delivered there; (2) there are no other references in Cicero’s works to his enmity with Sallust apart from these invectives; (3) Quintilian could be mistaken exactly as Priscianus was mistaken in his attribution of the Rhetorica ad Herennium to Cicero; (4) as far as the manuscript attribution is concerned, on many occasions false attributions had been presented as authentic. 36 His conclusion is that neither of the speeches could have been written by their purported authors. Plantin’s publishing house in Antwerp issued a commentary to Sallust by Louis Carrion in 1579.37 The commentary included two books of critical notes by Johannes Rivius, conjectures by Aldus Manutius, corrections and notes by Cyprian Popma, and scholia by Carrion. Cyprian Popma commented on both invectives, considering both of them to be spurious (commentary of 1572). Carrion in his preface to the letters addressed to Caesar , which was prepared for this edition, refers to the authorship of both invectives. Neither the letters, nor the invective against Cicero should, in his opinion, be attributed to Sallust.

Authorship of the invectives
119
A new edition appeared in Basel in 1590. 38 A full commentary by Glarean and new scholia by Jacobus from Bonn were added to the invective against Cicero. Jacobus’ scholia were made with reference to previously unused manuscripts, as is noted on the cover page:Omnia haec, ad authentica exemplaria collata, et variis lectionibus expolita . None of the scholia to the invective seem however to be of particular importance. It would seem then that from early on the authenticity of both the invectives was called into question. Though V ettori’s and Corrado’ s ar guments did not influence Sallust’s editors in the short term, increasingly editors had to consider the implications of the question of authenticity . In cases where the authenticity of both the invectives was called into question, commentators, such as Lipsius, relied on ar guments from the historical context and also from style. It is hard, however , to avoid the conclusion that they objected to the content of the invectives also. How could a Sallust, or , even more so, a Cicero, use such trivial ar gumentation? 3.1.3
Polemics on the authorship of the invectives in the 17th century
Helias Putsch’ s Leiden edition of 1602 39 and Jan Gruter ’s Frankfurt edition of 1607 40 were the most widely respected up until the middle of 18 th century. They seem to have been cautious and conservative on the question of authenticity . They include commentaries on the authorship of the invectives, but do not themselves express any doubt as to the genuineness of the invective against Cicero, placing Quintilian’ s quotation immediately after the title. They do however consider the other invective ( quae Cicer oni falso tribuitur ) and the letters to Caesar to be spurious. This same view is held by John Philipp Pareus in his posthumous Frankfurt edition of Sallust in 1649 (reprinted in 1676), 41 then later by 38 C. Crispi Salustii Historiae, De coniuratione Catilinae.

Polemics on the authorship of the invectives in the 18th century
One of the first English editions of Sallust was that of Joseph Wasse55 printed in Cambridge in 1710. 56 Wasse did not publish any new commentary but he referred to those of Popma, Bade, Glarean, and also to a scholium by Thysius. It is worth noting the biography of Sallust written by Jean Leclerk also published in this edition.57 Jean Leclerk claimed that there was no longer any doubt that both invectives were written by an orator no later than the time of Tiberius, and not by Sallust and Cicero themselves.58 In the preface to his edition in Leipzig in 1724 59 Gottlieb Kortte considered the question of the authenticity of the invectives, ar guing that both were written by the same author , an author who succeeded in recreating both Sallust’s brevitas and Cicero’s copia.60 There follows a separate preface to the invective against Cicero, which explains that not only the text but even the title “Sallust against Cicero” were spurious, the title having probably been selected at a later date to denote the content of the text.61 This title at first noted in margine was later wrongly accepted into the manuscripts as a part of the text. The edition of 1772 was printed in Halle62 without any changes. Concerning attribution, the editor followed the view that the invective against Cicero was genuine 63 whereas the second one and the letters to Caesar were spurious. 64 At times however both invectives were considered spurious. Thus, in the edition of Sallust printed in 1779 in Zweibrücken65 55 C.

Polemics on the authorship of the invectives in the 19th century
During the 19 th century the invectives were generally regarded to be spurious.66 Thus a number of editions appeared in France, and not only in France, but also in the Russian Empire, in the Ukrainian university town of Charkov; these included the letters to Caesar , but excluded the invectives.67 The problem of the authenticity of the invectives still remained an important one for these editions even if it frequently went unmentioned. An edition of Sallust with an Italian translation and commentaries was printed in Brescia in 1806–1808. 68 The edition contains all the works of Sallust including the letters to Caesar but does not contain the invectives. In 1821 in Paris J. L. Burnouf edited Sallust’s works adding a new commentary.69 In this edition, which followed Kortte’s earlier argumentation, both the invectives were regarded as spurious. Burnouf suggested that some later erudite reader , or perhaps even the author of the invectives himself, might have added the gloss “Sallustius in Ciceronem” to Quintilian. Another possibility, also offered by Burnouf, involves the anonymous author taking a passage ascribed to Sallust as quoted by Quintilian and placing it into his text. 70 Both these hypotheses display a certain charm. 66 See the opinion of the signif icant German poet, translator and editor Christoph

Authorship of the invectives
123
Over a twenty-f ive year period Friedrich Kritz edited all of Sallust’ s works publishing them in Leipzig between 1828–1853 in three volumes. The edition includes neither the letters nor the invectives.71 In his preface Kritz states that his text is based on Kortte’ s edition, but that he chose to include only such texts as were in fact written by Sallust, i.e.Catilina, Iugurtha, and Historiae. Rudolf Dietsch in his edition of Sallust with commentary, published in Leipzig in 1859, followed the same approach.72 A volume of Roman historians was edited in 1840 73 in V enice by the Paris Academy. The volume included Caesar, Sallust, Florus, and Lucius Ampelius with a commentary to each author . Sallust was edited by Th. Burette, and all his works were included except for the invectives. The editor quotes from Quintilian in the preface, but believes that the evidence remains unconvincing and that the invectives do not belong to Sallust’s corpus. The commentary-less Bassano edition of 1851 74 included Sallust’ s invectives in the corpus. The text was printed as in Gruter ’s earlier edition, without any changes. 3.1.6
Henrich Jordan and further polemics on the authorship of the invectives from 1876 up until today
Henrich Jordan published an article “Die Invectiven des Sallust und Cicero”75 which analysed the syntactical, morphological and rhetorical aspect of both the controversiae, as he calls them. 76 He ar gued that the speeches could not have been written prior to T rajan (AD 98–1 17) nor

124 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives later than Antoninus (AD 137–161), and that they were the work of the same orator. F. Vogel77 concurred. R. Reitzenstein 78 however disagreed with Jordan. He ar gued that the invective was written in 54, the date when the actions it describes unfolded. He also claimed that the invectives were written by different authors, and that the second one imitated the style of the f irst, borrowing words and syntactical constructions, thus explaining the similarities between the two texts. He attributed the authorship of the invective against Cicero to Sallust as the enmity between Cicero and Sallust was widely known, indeed already much discussed in Seneca’s time. E. Schwartz 79 contributed the claim that the invective against Cicero was written by Lucius Calpurnius Piso. Piso had refused to support Cicero against Clodius Pulcher, and as a reward he had been granted, through a law by Clodius, the administration of the province of Macedonia. His activities there were later attacked in two speeches by Cicero. 80 Schwartz found numerous parallels to Cicero’ s speech against Piso of 55 BC, and also to the invective against Cicero written as a response to Cicero in 54 BC. “The Piso hypotheses” was subsequently broadly discussed. 81 E. Norden, 82 and E. Meyer 83 came out in favour of Schwartz’ s position, against were F. Schöll,84 B. Maurenbrecher,85 and Th. Zielinski.86 Zielinski87 coined the phrase Cicerokarikatur, in other words, the numerous imitations of Cicero. He considers Pseudo-Sallust to have been one of these imitators, similar to Quintus Fuf ius Calenus in the work by the historian Cassius Dio (circa AD 164 – after 229).88

Authorship of the invectives

Dio gave an imaginary account of a meeting in the Senate not long before Cicero’s death. Although Cicero’ speech is a weak reproduction of his second Philippic,89 Calenus replied in a long speech, which followed the invective against Cicero point by point, entering into all the details of Cicero’s private life, and making a funny caricature out of it. Apparently Dio knew the invective itself, or a later rhetorical amplification on the same theme; and it is thus possible to trace the history of this school declamation for over three centuries. Like Corrado previously ,90 Zielinski compared the invective with Calenus’ speech against Cicero. G. Peiser91 analysed the problem thoroughly and reached the conclusion that the invectives were written by the same author , who imitated Sallust’s and Cicero’s manner of writing and used a number of documents that do not belong later than 54 BC. Thus Milo’s trial of 52 BC, where both Sallust and Cicero participated, goes unmentioned in the invectives. Peiser’s commentary to both invectives is also worth noting. R. Wirtz92 on the other hand ar gued that the invective belonged to Sallust, but was written after Cicero’ s death as a response to Cicero’ s abuses in De consiliis suis.93 A. Kurfess advanced a number of ar guments94 against Sallust’s authorship, arguments that were later supported by A. Gwynn. 95 In 1922 however Kurfess appears to have been converted, abandoning his earlier denials.96 Thus Kurfess proceeded to publish a number of articles ar guing for Sallust’s authorship.97 In his editions of the invectives Kurfess comes out against Sallustian authorship as can be seen in the preface to the 2 nd edition of 1948, and especially in the preface to the 3rd edition of 1958. In his preface to the 4th edition, written in 1961, he does not take a firm line on the issue, while noting the significance of the arguments put forward by scholars (Kurfess refers to Büchner, Eisenhut and Vretska) who do in fact consider the invective against Cicero to be Sallustian. 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97

126 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives G. Funaioli in 1920 says that the texts might well be genuine, he suggested Quintilian had read this speech in its full form while we possess only excerpts from it.98 Later in 1948 he argued that the invective against Cicero was indeed by Sallust.99 By the mid-century a number of scholars were swayed in this direction, believing the invective against Cicero to be Sallustian.100 J. C. Rolfe edited Sallust in 1921. In his preface he comments on the fact that the invective had generally been regarded as spurious, a specimen of the pamphleteer literature which followed the period after Caesar ’s death.101 A thorough and detailed analysis on the history of the authorship of the invective against Cicero was made by O. Seel in 1943. 102 He compared the text with both Cicero’s and Sallust’s texts. Seel’s argument was that Cicero’s Phillipicae were used as a source for the writing of the invective. According to Seel, Cicero’ s speeches were used as a base. The author then incorporated a number of Sallust’s works, and added phrases in Sallust’s style for example from the speech by Memmius. 103 Seel argues against the “Piso hypothesis”. He believes the invective was written not earlier than 44/43 BC.104 Thus the author might well have been a rhetorician of Augustus’ time in the thirties BC. E. H. Clift published in 1945 an expanded version of her dissertation devoted to Latin literature of doubtful authenticity. She argued that the invective against Cicero was composed in 54 BC by Sallust.105 The invective against Sallust, however, was composed by some unknown author, in her opinion, prior to the 3rd century AD as a direct answer to Sallust’s invective against Cicero, and it came to be attributed to Cicero because of its content.106 98 Funaioli 1920, 1035, and 1932 ff. 99 Funaioli 1948, 56. 100 M.

3.1
Authorship of the invectives
127
G. Jachmann dated the invective against Cicero to the post-republican period and considered it to be a rhetorical exercise “as if it were composed by Piso”. 107 P. G. M. Nisbet 108 in 1961 concurred, attributing the invective to a rhetorician who wished to write an invective in Sallust’s style. Nisbet believed that the invective might have been written about the time of T iberius,109 which would mean between 14 and 37 AD. J. Hejnic110 dated the invective against Cicero to 54 or 53BC. He offers a new version of its authorship ar guing that the invective belonged to Clodius Pulcher,111 an opponent of Cicero. In a number of his speeches and letters112 Cicero referred to Clodius as someone who had slandered him, and thus, pace Hejnic, this could have been one of Clodius’ speeches against Cicero. The similarity with Sallust’s texts is explained by the fact that they were both tribunes of the commons in 53BC. Thus Sallust may have heard Clodius orate, later using Clodius’ style in his works. E. Gabba considered the invective against Cicero to be a product of the anticiceronian rhetorical tradition of various schools of rhetoric. One possible attribution is to the school of Asinius Pollio who retired from politics after the triumph over the Parthini of Illyria in 39BC and devoted himself to literature, organizing the first public recitations.113 K. Büchner114 considered the invective against Cicero to be a genuine but early work of Sallust. Büchner’s terminus ante quem is 53BC, the date of Crassus’ death, since the invective was written by a supporter of Crassus, a fact which corresponds to Sallust position during this period. In 1961 in Heidelberg K. Vretska edited the invective against Cicero and the letters to Caesar with a German translation and an extensive commen107 Jachmann 1950, 235ff. See also Oertel 1951, 46–68, who did not believe the in108 109 110 111 112 113 114

128 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives tary. Vretska argued for Sallustian authorship of the invective, believing however that Sallust had never actually delivered this speech and also that he had never published it. It was probably therefore an essay by the young writer, a training in eloquence. In A. Ernout’s 1962 edition the text of the invectives is considered to be Pseudo-Sallustian. R. Syme 115 considered the invective to be an Augustan rhetorical exercise, in imitation of Sallust. He referred to Nisbet, arguing that the author failed to maintain the desired color Sallustianus throughout the text.116 C. Becker considering the problem of the authenticity of Sallust’s Invective and the Letters to Caesar believes them to be spurious.117 In 1967 Büchner published a further work 118 where he criticized Syme’s position. He was convinced of the genuineness of the invective and also of the letters to Caesar, which he argued were linked to the invective stylistically. In the article on Sallust in the Kleine Pauly, P. L. Schmidt 119 considered the invective to be the earliest work by Sallust, though he acknowledged that the authorship of the invective was still a being discussed. The invectives are considered by L. D. Reynolds to be spurious in his edition of Sallust in 1991. In 1993 W. Schmid published a work on early Sallust. 120 In it, he argues that the invective against Cicero and the letters to Caesar belong to Sallust, something that can be proved through the connections between these texts and the rest of Sallust’ s works. He also believes that Bellum Africum, a record of Caesar’s war in Africa in the winter 47–46 BC, was in fact written by Sallust.121

3.2
The History of the edited invectives
129
F. R. D. Goodyear in CHCL II122 and C. B. R. Pelling in OCD123 mention the question of the authenticity of the invectives in passing, attributing them to the rhetorical schools of the Augustan period.124 D. R. Shackleton Bailey published a new edition and translation of the invectives in 2002. In the introductory note he considers both invectives to be “spurious beyond any reasonable doubt”.125 Thus, whereas during the 19th century most commentators believed both invectives to have been the product of the rhetorical schools, during the 20th century a number of nay-sayers 126 have argued that on the contrary Sallust’s invective against Cicero was genuinely written by its purported author. It is however a cause for concern that time and again scholars make value judgements about Ciceronian style and morality: too often, the question of the authenticity of ancient texts is raised because we believe that such invectives would not be appropriate to a Cicero, whereas, in fact, invective was an essential part of Roman political and literary life. Nonetheless, bearing in mind our own cultural baggage and the danger of basing our judgements on a Cicero or a Sallust constructed according to our own limited preconceptions, arguments contra seem to be the more convincing. It remains unlikely that the authors of the two invectives were actually Sallust and Cicero.
3.2 The history of edited invectives (incunabula and 16th–20th centuries) 3.2.1
Textual transmission of the invectives in incunabula
Whereas the latest manuscripts of Sallust’s text are dated to the 16th century, the editio princeps was already in print by the end of the 15 th century, first printed in 1471. Both invectives were for the most part transCHCL II 1982, 269. Pelling 1996, 1349. Cf. Conte 1994, 243. Cicero. Letters to Quintus and Brutus. Letter Fragments. Letter to Octavian. Invectives.

130 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives mitted as part of the Sallustian corpus and only rarely alongside Cicero’s speeches. Some editions contain conjectures, signif icant in themselves for the history of the text. Other editions do not include conjectures and simply transmit the readings of any given manuscript. There are two editiones principes for the invectives. One of them, as referred to by Reynolds,127 was published in Cologne in 1471.128 This edition is important as the invectives were published without the rest of Sallust’s works. It is therefore the first “individual edition”. Two conjectures, of fered by the Cologne edition, are accepted by Reynolds into the text: Cic. 4 parasti ]129 paraveris L ed. princ. Reynolds: parasses V : pararis JordanSB Sall. 5 vita ed. princ.] vitae : om. K1 This conjecture of the Cologne edition does not seem to be convincing despite the fact that it was accepted by a number of other editions: Cic. 7 habens «LugdBas] habes ed. princ. IncAldGrutRom The other edition was published in V enice in 1471. 130 This edition includes Sallust’s works alongside the text of invectives, as is usual in the manuscript transmission. From 1471 on the text of the invectives was transmitted alongside Sallust’s works, as in the manuscript tradition. However , even when the edition included all of Sallust’ s works, it often also included Cicero’ s speeches against Catilina, a spurious response by Catalina to Cicero and Porcius Latro’ s speech against Catilina. In these editions Sallust’ s biography, the so-called vita Sallustii, preceded his works.

The History of the edited invectives
131
The next edition of invectives also appeared in Venice131 in 1474, and yet another in Milan 132 in 1476. There followed two V enetian editions 133 of 1478 and 1490 where Martial’s epigrams are included alongside the Sallustian corpus. Pomponio Leto’s letter to Augustine Mathaeus is added to editions of 1491.134 Incunabula transmit the same text without essential changes and so it is possible to ascertain the manuscripts or in some cases the manuscript traditions the editors used.

Textual transmission of the invectives in the 16th century
Aldus Manutius’ edition appeared in 1509.135 His manuscripts include no new readings or conjectures. The editor did however use one, or perhaps several, contaminated manuscripts. The text of the invectives in the V enetian edition of 1511136 is not substantially different from the text in incunabula. Most of the errors coincide with errors of the manuscripts of family . The editor had access to a number of late manuscripts. On occasions he chose the manuscript reading, as in Cic. 7, where instead of habes (ed. princ. IncAldGrutRomCrisp) he chose habens («).137 The following edition, printed in Venice in 1513 138 preserved the text as in Aldus’ edition while a new commentary is added, that of Bade.139 135 C.

The History of the edited invectives
133
In the Venetian edition of 1521140 the text of the invectives was printed as in incunabula but with Bade’s commentary. A new revised edition of Sallust was printed in Aldus’ publishing house in 1522.141 This edition offered a new conjecture, accepted by many later editors: Cic. 1 cum] quoniam142 Ald1Grut RomVen The editor of this edition used for the most part readings of manuscripts V and Mp, but also of later contaminated manuscripts. It is worth noting a number of conjectures proposed by the editor as marginal scholia. The influence of manuscripts of hyparchetype is significant: Cic. 1 hoc om. : habet N: Ald1 in marg. In this edition there are a number of new readings from later corrected manuscripts. Thus there are three interpolations in the text, which were later accepted in some other editions: Cic. 7 eosdem] eos deo E: eosdem nunc Ald1LugdBasGrut Sall. 6 incolumes in urbe] incolumes in hac urbe R Ald1LugdBasGrut: in colomes in urbe E Sall. 15 despectui habuit Norden] despectus : despectum fecit I: desserptus V: despectum Bas: despectum reddidit Ald1LugdGrutRom As is clear from the transmission, many editors tried to correct the text, interpolating an absent verb into the text (the scribe of I, Aldina 1522 etc.). This explained Norden’ s interpolation, which was later accepted by Reynolds also.

134 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives In two further editions – a Venetian one in 1526 and a Florentine one in 1527143 – the text of Aldus’ editions and incunabula is reprinted without changes. In the Florentine edition Sallust’ s text is printed together with Apuleius’ one. There is no commentary in this edition. The Venetian edition of 1536 144 was a reprint of the text of 1521 together with the commentary by Bade. Shortly thereafter the edition of 1541 was a reprint of the 1536 edition. In Venice in 1546 there appeared a further edition of Sallust, 145 that included, in addition to the works of Sallust, Cicero’ s speeches against Catilina, Catilina’s purported responses to Cicero and a speech by Catilina against Porcius Latro. There is a conjecture in this edition, accepted also by many later editions: Sall. 16 ecquod GlareanLugdGrut]146 et quod AFN , Ald1 in marg.: et pro K1, et quid VK2: qui post et quod B

3.2
The History of the edited invectives
135
The Venetian edition of 1547147 reprinted the text of the previous edition of 1546 but this time with the commentary by Bade added, as in the edition of 1521. A further edition appeared in Lyon in 1551. 148 This was for all practical purposes a re-edition of Aldus’ edition of 1522, though at times the editor accepted mar ginal scholia that had not appeared in the f irst edition, examples being: Cic. 1 petulantia ista] ista petulantia : ista p. ista (ista 1 del.)V: ista tua petulantia in marg.

His text is based on late contaminated manuscripts with a number of new interpolations and conjectures. The readings sometimes coincide with those from family and sometimes with those of family . A further edition of Sallust appeared in V enice in 1555. 149 This edition includes a selection of Aldus’ conjectures written as mar ginal scholia. A number of conjectures are significant for the later transmission of the text: Sall. 3 illam Ald in mar g., LugdVenBas]150 aliam : aliorum Mp: sed vitam aliam I 147 C.

In fact this conjecture had already been proposed in the Lyon edition of 1551 and then reprinted in the Venice and Basel editions (see App. p. 198 f.).
136 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives It is worth noting that the Venetian editor accepted Aldina’s scholia into his text at two disputed points: Sall. 3 illam Ald in marg., LugdBasVen] aliam : aliorum Mp: sed vitam aliam I Sall. 7 fortunatam Mp] fortunatam natam F 2 ERVAld in mar g., LugdBasVen: fortunam natam L: fortunam H1, corr. H2 The following interpolation, stemming probably from the later manuscripts, was also accepted into the text: Sall. 4 Metellos ] Metellos vel Fabios «Ven in marg.: metello I: metelli HbBasGrut: Paulos Ven This now settled text was printed again without any signif icant changes in 1557, 1560, and 1567 in Venice and in 1563 in Padua.151 The influence of late contaminated manuscripts and of Aldina’ editions is evident. A full edition of Sallust with a commentary was printed in Christophe Plantin’s publishing house in Antwerp in 1564. Paulus Manutius revised this edition, which included a number of scholia by Aldus Manutius the Younger.152 In this edition there is no commentary to the invectives but only the scholia of Aldus Manutius the Younger. The editor enjoyed access to various manuscripts and we can trace his selection of readings. He relies for the most part on family , and, within that family, on the readings of hyparchetype , examples being: Cic. 2 tua ac (aut BX) dicta IInc] ac (an E) dicta tua Ald2Bas: facta tua ac dicta tua N Cic. 4 illius] eius Ald2BasGrut Cic. 6 his NK2CIZH2MMp: iis AF D1: hiis K1D2: piis : is O: om. ERH1 Ald2LugdGrut153 Variae lectiones are for the most part explicable through a recognition of the fact that Aldus Manutius the Y ounger relied on Renaissance manuscripts adding new interpolations, something that was not the case with medieval manuscripts. Only rarely did the editor chose the reading of archetype in contrast to later manuscripts, for example: 151 See App. p. 198. 152 C. Sallustii Crispi Coniuratio Catilinae, et Bellum Iugurthinum

K2 This conjecture, accepted by almost all the later editors, is worth noting: Cic. 2 alicui]154 alteri Ald2LugdBasGrutRomOrelli In all probability Aldus inserted this conjecture by analogy with Sall. 13. Two conjectures are made on the invective against Sallust: Sall. 18 homines Ald2] nominis : nominis in mg. V The manuscript text read nominis perditi ac notissimi, as in archetype . The conjecture homines is offered by Aldus Manutius the Younger: “Quid si legas: h o m i n e s p e r d i t i a c n o t i s s i m i ?”155 The second conjecture suggested by Aldus reads: Sall. 17 vexavit E] vixit A1I Ald2: vetuit XBG?: vetavit T The text read vexavit. Aldus however preferred the reading vixit. His notes also reveal his acquaintance with variants:“Nihil muto. Vi x i t tamen pro v e x a v i t magis placer et.” [I change nothing. But I would prefer vixit instead of vexavit.]156 The Venetian edition of 1567157 noted these scholia by Aldus in the margin. A full edition of Sallust appeared in Basel in 1564. 158 In addition to the invectives it reprinted the commentaries by Bade and Glarean. A new reading included in this edition allows us to infer the inf luence of manuscripts on this text, with hyparchetype as a source: Cic. 6 his NK2CIZH2MMp: iis AF D1: hiis K1D2: piis : is O: om. ERH1 Ald2LugdGrut 154 Reynolds attributed this conjecture to Orelli whereas Orelli was simply follow-
ing the reading that already existed.
155 Reynolds attributed this conjecture to Johann Wilhelm Berger (see Kortte’s edi-
tion). So did Shackleton Bailey. Berger was professor of rhetoric in the University of Wittenberg (see Kortte’s edition of 1724 (=1737), preface p. VIII). Kortte used Berger’s manuscripts of Sallust ( nihilo minus Ber gerianas vocavimus, ut ipso nomine, quo in Germania nostra vix aliud illustrius est, illustriores essent, [ibid. VIII]), and he sometimes included Berger’s conjectures. However, in this particular case the conjecture by Ber ger was in fact originally made by Aldus Manutius the Younger. 156 Cf. p. 39 above. 157 See App. p. 199. 158 C.

138 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives Justus Lipsius in his work Variae Lectiones159 considered a passage from the invective against Sallust. He offered to correct the text in Sall. 3: Sall. 3 luculentus TLipsius] luculenter Hb: lutulentus rell.: lutulentum Q: lutulentus sa, sa del. Mp: sus add. ERZ(?)MMp Sall. 3 velitariLipsiusGrut] volutari rell.: voluptari K1HOV: volutari possit I As a connoisseur of vintage ciceronian style, Lipsius found fault with the style of the text of the invective and indeed felt uncomfortable that someone with such mediocre skills might presume to subscribe the text to so worthy a name. Considering the passage Sall. 3, he pointed out that, in the manuscript he used, the wordsus, which followed on fromlutulentus, was absent. He thus reread the passage and made an important conjecture: that sus should be excluded. In his opinion it was originally included due to a dittography , a duplication of the last syllable of the previous word. Further, Lipsius believed the passage would make better sense, if volutari was replaced with velitari: itaque nihil aliud studet nisi ut luculentus cum quovis velitari. longe vero fallitur opinione; non enim procacitate linguae vitae sordes eluuntur, sed est quaedam calumnia, quam unus quisque nostrum testante animo suo fert … Id est, ita procax effectus est Sallustius, ut nihil aliud studeat, nisi tamquam homo festivus et luculentus cum quovis velitari, et quemvis calumniis ac improba lingua incessere. Quae quidem lectio sequentibus statim verbis manifeste comprobatur. [he therefore bothers himself with nothing more, fine fellow that he is, than with attacking whomever he wants. In this however he errs seriously , for life’s blemishes are not purified through the looseness of a fellow’s tongue. Yet there is a kind of ver dict of false accusation, which each of us in his judgement bears witness to … That means, Sallust is so licentious, that he concerns himself with noting more, than attacking whomever he wants, like some droll and f ine fellow, and than assailing whomever he wishes with false accusations and foul language. This reading is indeed plainly confirmed immediately by the following words.]
Plantin’s publishing house in Antwerp issued a commentary to Sallust by Louis Carrion in 1579.160 The commentary contains an apparatus criticus with variae lectiones based on Aldus’ conjectures, and also a number of historical references and notes by Cyprian Popma. 159 Lipsius 1637, 55 ff.

Cyprian Popma thus agrees with Lipsius’ s reading of Sall. 3. 161 He does not accept sus in the text, following in this regard the reading of the greater part of the medieval manuscripts162 and also the considerations of Justus Lipsius ad loc. The Venice edition of 1584163 represents a contamination of Aldinae and previous Venetian editions. The conjectures, of fered by Aldus, are accepted in the text. The text however also includes a new reading, probably based on a late manuscript: Sall. 4 illis ] illis viris IncAldLugdBasGrutRom: illi viris Ven 1584 The last edition of Sallust by Plantin was issued in Antwerp (though it was printed in Leiden) in 1587. 164 This practical pocket size edition includes no comments and no changes. 3.2.3
Textual transmission of the invectives in the 17th century
There are no comments and no conjectures in Plantin’s next edition, that of 1602.165 The editor rejects even previously accepted conjectures. Thus Plantin reverts to archetype ’s reading aliam: Sall. 3 illam Ald in marg., LugdBasVen] aliam ed1602GrutRom, in mg. Ven: aliorum Mp: sed vitam aliam I Jan Gruter’s Frankfurt edition of 1607166 does not add any new comments, including these by Glarean, Popma and Carrion without any changes,

140 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives alongside the two scholia by Aldus. 167 The text of the invectives in Gruter’s edition differs from that in previous ones. It is based on late contaminated manuscripts as well as the earlier editions. W e find readings from family and also readings from family . Apart from the following individual interpolation: Cic. 1 apud om. K1, s. l. K2: apud r. p. T: apud populum r. Z: aput H: ne aput P: an apud Grut Rom, Gruter tends to keep the conjectures by Aldus Manutius in his text. Gruter seems to have accepted the conjecture of Lipsius:168 Sall. 3 velitariLipsiusGrut] volutarirell.: voluptari K1HOV: volutari possit I In 1609 there appeared in Rome a full edition of Sallust.169 It did not contain any commentary to the invectives. The text itself mainly represents a contamination of Aldus’ and Gruter’s editions. The Venetian edition of 1610 170 included no new readings. Gruter ’s edition was not taken into account and Aldina’s text was reprinted with Aldus Manutius the Younger’s scholia. An edition of Sallust with fragments from ancient historians appeared in Leiden in 1634171 and was emendated by Marcus Zuerius van Boxhorn.172 The text of the invectives is reprinted as in Gruter’s without changes. The same edition was then reprinted in Amsterdam in 1658.173 In the edition prepared by Saumaise in Leiden in 1645, 174 the text of the invectives was reprinted according to Gruter, without commentary or apparatus. 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174

A new edition of Sallust appeared in Leiden in 1649 (reprinted in 1659).175 This edition was revised and emendated by Anthony Thysius.176 Thysius included shortened commentaries to the invective against Cicero by Bade, Glarean, Popma and Carrion. The invective against Sallust is not included. Thysius also added his own commentary (for example to the passage Cic. 7).177 Johann Friedrich Gronovius’ edition of Sallust printed in Leiden in 1665178 was a reprint of Thysius’ edition. The same text was then reprinted in Leiden in 1677179 and in Amsterdam in 1690.180 An edition by Daniel Crispinus appeared in Paris in 1674. 181 The commentary is taken from Thysius’ edition, the text itself is printed as it had been previously in Gruter’s and Aldus’ editions. 3.2.4
Textual transmission of the invectives in the 18th century
The edition of Joseph Wasse182 was printed in Cambridge in 1710. In the preface to his edition Wasse mentioned the main preceding editions and he also referred to earlier editions in his apparatus criticus. In general Wasse’s edition would seem to be a contamination of the earlier editions by Aldus, Putsch, Gruter and Thysius.

142 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives In Padua in 1722 183 Caietanus Vulpius emended a further edition of Sallust. In the preface to his edition he explained that he gathered and collated new manuscripts of Sallust. There are however no new readings for the invectives. The edition is based on two editions, that of Elzevir published in 1634 and of that of W asse. Vulpius even quotes from W asse’s reference to Gruter’s edition of 1607. A new edition with apparatus criticus was completed by Gottlieb Kortte in Leipzig in 1724. 184 Kortte used new manuscripts from Gudius’ collection (Wolfenbüttel), the major part of which were late, corrected and contaminated. Kortte referred to one old manuscript A, 185 and also to two manuscripts from Reims: Rem. 1111186 (early 15th century) and Rem. 1329187 (second half of the 11th century). Reynolds includes five of Kortte’s conjectures in his apparatus. Some of them should indeed be accepted into the text:188 Sall. 6 si delendum coni. Cortius Sall. 19 Tiburtem Cortius] tiburti : tyburti AK: in tiburti D: tiburtii Mp: tirburtii V (r1 del.) Another conjecture was mentioned by Reynolds in his apparatus but he did not accept it into the text: Cic. 2 aut] at X: del. Cortius: an IncRom: om. Crisp Kortte’s edition is the f irst edition of the invectives with an apparatus criticus which conforms, more or less, to our contemporary expectations. Jordan’s edition is based on Kortte’s edition.189 The Venetian edition of 1737 is a reprint of Kortte’s edition. 183 C. Crispi Sallustii quae exstant. Ex optimis codd. accuratissime castigata. Acce-

The History of the edited invectives

Siegbert Havercamp 190 published an extensive edition of Sallust in Amsterdam in 1742. The f irst volume contained Catilina and Jugurtha with numerous commentaries, the second volume contained dedications, prefaces and biographies of Sallust by Crinito, 191 Vossius,192 and Leclerk,193 a number of ancient references to Sallust, fragments from the Historiae, the letters to Caesar and also both invectives. Variae lectiones and the commentaries by Glarean, Popma, W asse, Bade, Carrion and Thysius were added to the invectives. In the preface Havercamp points out that he used three editions – Gruter ’s, Wasse’s and Kortte’s – and that he collated new manuscripts from the library of Leiden. These manuscripts are late, contaminated and corrected. 194 The apparatus to the invectives was made with the collation of only one manuscript, which is termed C by the editor.195 On several occasions Havercamp referred to collations of manuscripts by Franciscus Oudendorpius which were prepared for this edition. For all practical purposes however Gruter’s text was printed without changes. In the V enetian edition of 1761 196 the text was again printed without changes. Guido Ferrari’s commentary to Catilina and Iugurtha was included in the edition. The text of invectives followed Gruter ’s and Kortte’s editions. Epitome Rerum Romanarum by Florus was printed alongside Sallust in the one volume Birmingham edition of 1773. 197 The text was printed without any changes, with neither preface nor commentary.

144 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives A further edition of Sallust was printed in 1779 in Zweibrücken.198 In the preface the editor referred to Kortte and then to all the previous editions and commentaries of the text from Aldus on, including Rivius, Glarean, Carrion, Popma, Gruter and Wasse. The text is printed without changes. The biography of Sallust by Jean Leclerk, though not that of Crinito or Soldus, was included as a preface to Sallust’s works. There were no changes made for the V enetian edition of 1786, 199 which followed Gruter’s text. The Parisian edition of Crispinus dating to 1674 was reprinted in 1790.200 3.2.5
Textual transmission of the invectives in the 19th century
In 1801 in Paris in Didot’s publishing house a “standard edition” of Sallust was printed.201 All Sallust’s works, including the invectives, were printed without either changes or commentary. The edition contained no preface. The first edition of the invectives in Orelli’s edition of Cicero was issued in 1826 in Zurich. The second edition was edited by Orelli-Baiter -Halm in 1856. 202 The text of the invectives was prepared by Johann Geor g Baiter based on Fleckeisen’ s collation of manuscript A, Halm’ s collation of manuscripts T and B,203 and on Orelli’s 1826 edition. Baiter’s apparatus criticus contains readings of four manuscripts (A, T, B and a later manuscript of 15 th century), and also several conjectures. An interpolation made by Halm is worth noting. This attempt to explain “alios” was accepted by later editors, though the interpolation seems to be an unnecessary attempt to improve the text: Cic. 3 exilio alios suppl.

Two other conjectures provided by Baiter and Orelli do not convince: Sall. 8 sit] est Baiter Sall. 15 eius] sua Orelli 3.2.6
Henrich Jordan and new editions of the invectives from 1876 up until today
Henrich Jordan’s Berlin edition of 1876204 was influenced by Lachmann’s methodology and includes the f irst stemma of the manuscripts of the invectives. During the same year Jordan published an article which analysed the syntactical, morphological and rhetorical aspect of both the controversiae, as he calls them.205 The 1876 edition was Jordan’ s second edition of Sallust, the f irst one having excluded the invectives. The apparatus criticus provides a compilation of Kortte, Orelli-Baiter -Halm and a number of new medieval manuscripts. Jordan adds three manuscripts H, K and Hb, all from British Museum, to A, T, and B, 206 which were known from previous editions. Jordan divided the manuscripts into two families, then into groups, and created a first variant of stemma, very simple in form, but fundamentally correct. H. Wirz made a new edition of the invective against Cicero in 1898. 207 He did not use any new manuscripts, but emended the edition of Jordan with seventeen conjectures. Reynolds accepted three of these into his text.208 A new edition with apparatus criticus was made by A. Kurfess in 1914.209 Kurfess used ten manuscripts altogether, adding the four manuscripts M, E, P and V210 to Jordan’s stemma.

146 Chapter 3 The problem of authorship and the history of edited invectives An important conjecture made by Kurfess, which should be accepted into the text, is worth noting: Cic. 3 aliquos Kurfess] alio Z: alios ceteri 211 J. C. Rolfe edited Sallust in 1921 using Kurfess’ text with a new English translation and commentary.212 Both invectives are included. In 1961 in Heidelberg K. Vretska edited the invective against Cicero and the letters to Caesar basically following Kurfess’ edition with a German translation and an extensive commentary.213 In A. Ernout’ s 1962 edition the text of the invectives follows Kurfess’ with a commentary and a French translation.214 L. D. Reynolds worked extensively on the textual tradition of the Sallustian corpus.215 Reynolds used sixteen manuscripts for his stemma,216 published in 1983 in TT, adding manuscripts F, G, C, D, S, R, and O to Kurfess’ edition and excluding V .217 The principle of his stemma is that of Jordan and Kurfess. A new edition of Sallust was published by Reynolds in 1991.218 In this edition Reynolds worked with eleven manuscripts A, ,F K, T, X, C, D, S, E, H, and M. Thus, for the stemma of 1991 Reynolds added manuscript X to the stemma of 1983, and excluded manuscripts G, B, Hb, R, O, and P. Reynolds is very conservative in his handling of the text of the invectives. He hardly ever changes the text of the manuscript transmission, though he does sometimes accept new conjectures proposed by other scholars. On one occasion he proposes his own interpolation:
211 Cf. Halm’s conjecture p. 144. 212 See above p. 126. 213 Vretska 1961. See Kurfess’ 4th edition of 1962 where on the last page (p. 31) he 214 215 216 217 218

SB On some other occasions he prefers the readings of Kurfess or Jordan to those of Reynolds. He does not use any new manuscript relying on the standard text of Reynolds. His edition also includes a new English translation of the invectives. Finally, the present edition builds on the work by Reynolds that of 1983 and that of 1991. The conjectures proposed by Shackleton Bailey are also considered. In addition to the manuscripts used by Reynolds, the present edition examines six further manuscripts.228 Most manuscripts were also re-examined and the conclusions were incorporated into the new edition of the text. Here too a full textual history of these texts is presented for the first time.229
227 See p. 180–181 below. 228 See above ch. 2, p. 27 ff. 229 I have already published the new version of the text of the invectives with an ap-
paratus criticus and a brief introduction and translation in Russian in the V estnik Drevnej Istorii (Journal of Ancient History) 249 and 250, cf.Novohatцko 2004. However, the Russian version did not take in to account Shackleton Bailey’s latest edition (2002), and there were some inaccuracies in the apparatus which now have been corrected. Thus, the text appears for the first time in its present form.

INVECTIVE AGAINST MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO 1. It would be hard for me to put up with your abuse, Marcus T ullius, and 1 it would bother me, if I believed your lack of restraint to be more a matter of considered opinion than a disease of your mind. However since I note neither measure nor modesty in your words, 2 I shall respond in kind, so that if you felt any pleasure in issuing abuse,3 you may banish it by paying attention to similarly foul words. To whom, Fathers of the Senate, shall I complain, to whom appeal 4 that our state is being torn asunder and turned into plunder for each and every impudent taker?5 To the Roman people who are so corrupted with bribery that they offer their wealth and indeed their very selves for sale?6 Or to you, Fathers of the Senate, whose reputation every disgraceful, criminal layabout ridicules? Where so ever Marcus Tullius may find himself, he sticks up for laws, legal processes and state,7 manipulating them here in this establishment, as though he were the last remaining
1 Quoted by Quint. 4, 1, 68. See ch. 3, p.111. Cf. In Vat. 1, 1.The author obviously
imitates Sallust here, cf. aequo animo paterer in Sall. Iug. 31, 21.
2 Another Sallustian phrase, cf. Sall. Cat. 11, 4; 38, 4. 3 On maledicta see Powell 2007, 10. 4 Cf. Flacc. 4; Verr. 2, 5, 126; Mur. 88; De or. 3, 214; Sall. Iug. 14, 17. The re-
moval from the text of quos implorem as suggested by E. Wölf flin might be plausible (there is a clear incongruity with the construction that follows, which is an AcI). However, this expression is probably used as a frequently repeated ciceronian formula. Cf. Eussner 1879, 204; Vretska, 1961, II 12. 5 Cf. Sall. Iug. 31, 10, 18. 6 Another attempt to imitate Sallust, cf. Sall. Iug. 31, 25; Cat.10, 4. 7 Cf. Cass. Dio 46, 20, 2; Cic. Phil. 8, 8; Sest. 98; Sen.Suas. 6, 26, 14; Hor. Ep. 1, 16, 40.

relative of illustrious Scipio Africanus8 rather than the debutant, the neophyte, the city novice he in fact is.9 2. Perhaps, Marcus Tullius, you suppose that your words and deeds remain concealed? 10 Have you not perchance conducted yourself from your very childhood in such a way as to consider nothing too sordid for your own body so long as it provided gratif ication for someone else? 11 Aye, without a doubt, it was without forfeiting your chastity 12 that you acquired this familiarity with uninhibited eloquence from Marcus Piso!13 In this context it should come as no surprise that you so scandalously market that which you procured at such discredit. Nay, I assume rather that the lustre of your home moulded your finecharacter, what with your sacrilegious wife, blemished by her transgressions,14 and your daughter, rival to her mother,15 more delectable and more compliant to you, than a daughter should be to her father. It was with violence and loot that you even acquired your house, with dire consequences for you and your family. It would seem that you wish to remind us how far the state has fallen, with you, a most degenerate man, living in the home that had belonged to the distinguished Publius Crassus.16
8 Meant ironically, because Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus (236–183 B.C.), 9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16
politician, was very often mentioned by Cicero in his speeches. Cf. Verr. 2, 4, 79 ff. and Vretska 1961, II 17–18. Cf. Sall. Cat. 31, 7; Cic. Sull. 23. Cf. Sall. Iug. 64, 5; Hist. 1, 44, 5. Cf. Cic. Cat. 1, 13; Phil. 14, 5, 14; 4, 6, 15; Sall.Cat. 51, 9. See also Sall. 13; 17. Cf. Sall. 7. Cf. Pis. 68–70; Phil. 2, 3; Brut. 310; Cass. Dio 46, 5, 1. Marcus Pupius Piso Frugi (Calpurnianus), consul in 61 BC, was in his youth a promising orator and Cicero’s friend. See alsoVretska 1961, II 21f.; Ernout 52; SB 364. Such a charge of sexual misconduct was a rhetorical commonplace, cf. Adams 1982, 195 f.; Craig 2004, 191, 202. See ch. 2, p.53. See also Ernout53. Terentia’s half-sister was a Vestal Virgin and was accused of having sexual relation with Catiline in 73BC (cf. Asc. 91). Here this case is transferred by the author to Terentia herself. Quoted in a manuscript, containing Serv. In Aen. VI, 623. See ch. 3, p. 112. Cf. Cic. Cluent. 70, 199; Or. 30, 108; Verr. 2, 1, 122; In Sall. 21. See also Zielinski 31912, 15; Becker 1973, 745; Ernout 53; Opelt 1965, 48. Cicero bought a house from Marcus Licinius Crassus the ‘triumvir ’, a son of Publius Licinius Crassus, consul in 97 BC. See Vretska 1961, II 27, Ernout 53.

3. And yet, despite all this,17 Cicero asserts that he was himself present at the council of the immortal gods, 18 whence he was dispatched to the city and its citizens as a guardian (***not being named an executioner),19 who caused the state injury to augment his own glory . As 20 though your consulship were not the cause of that conspiracy! That is the reason the state was torn apart at that time with you as its guardian! And yet, so I assume, 21 it was those state decisions that you made together with your wife Terentia22 after your consulship that elevated you to a higher status; then holding judicial proceedings following the Plautian law,23 at your own home no less, you censured some of the plotters to pay fines,24 one of them constructing a villa for you at Tusculum, another a villa at Pompeii,25 yet another buying you your residence. Such a man however as could bestow nothing on you, such a man was most liable to your false accusations,26 either accused of having attacked your house or of plotting against the Senate. Of such a person’ s guilt, you were, in sum, most certain.27

In 63 BC Cicero was elected consul and managed to convince the Senate of the seriousness of the conspiracy led by Catilina, who otherwise might have been a candidate. (Cf. Sull. 67; Planc. 85; Fam. 5, 7.) See ch. 1, p. 19. Terentia was said to have had considerable inf luence over Cicero, inciting him against the followers of Catiline. T erentia is often mentioned in the Letters to Atticus and in Letters to Friends 14. Cf. also Plut.Cic. 41. See Koster 1980, 182. Cf. Cat. 31, 4; Cael. 70 and Vretska 1961, II 33. Lex Plautia was proposed in 89 BC by the tribune Marcus Plautius Silvanus. Its purpose was to punish transgressors of the public order severely. Here again it is used as a common anticiceronian locus, not necessarily corresponding to the historical truth. See SB 366. On a conjecture by Halm here, see ch. 3, p. 144.

4. If you consider my charges misplaced, feel free to provide an explanation: how much did you inherit, 28 what is your added wealth from lawsuits, with what funds did you obtain your residence and, at such extraordinary expense, construct villas at Tusculum and Pompeii?29 Or else, if you choose to keep your silence, who could query that you acquired this opulence of yours from the blood and deprivations of our citizens?30 31 Nay, I would assume rather that a new man from Arpinum, a man from 32 the family of Lucius Crassus would imitate the excellence of that man’ s character, would shun feuds with those of noble rank, and would hold the state alone dear.33 Neither fear nor favours would distance him from the path of truth.34 Friendship and integrity alone would characterise his mentality.35 5. But on the contrary this man is totally unreliable, deferential with his enemies, abusive to his friends, one moment he supports one side, at the next the other,36 loyal to nobody, a thoroughly undependable senator, a patron for a fee; 37 there is no part of his body that does not cause distaste: his conceited tongue, his rapacious hands, his elephantine gullet, his scampering feet; those parts which cannot gracefully be referred to, are in his case most especially disgraceful.38 And despite the fact that he is such as he is, he has the audacity to say:39 ‘Oh Rome born fortunate to have me as a consul!’40 Fortunate in your consulship, Cicero? 28 29 30 31

On the contrary, miserable and hapless, Rome endured that totally pitiless proscription;41 then you, the state in disarray, forced all honest fearstricken people to obey your maliciousness!42 Then all the legal proceedings, all the laws, were at your beck and call;43 then, having annulled the Porcian law 44 and arrogated all our liberty, you usurped the power of life and death over us all.45 6. It is not enough that you got away with this unpunished! 46 Yo u even affront the people reminding them of your actions, and they are not permitted to forget their slavery. I implore you, Cicero, having acted and having achieved what you wanted: it is enough that the people have suffered. Will you burden our ears with your hatred; will you harass us with revolting words:47 ‘Let arms give way to the toga, and the military laurel-wreath to the power of speech’?48 As if you were a man of the toga and

was translated as “Oh fortunate Rome, born in my consulship”, but I think “born fortunate to have me as a consul” makes more sense. (Cf.Sall. 7, where natam is omitted). The arrangement of words is not successful in this line, and it was a well-known target for Cicero’ critics in Antiquity (cf. Fourteen satires of Juvenal, ed. by J. D. Duff, Cambridge, 1966, 342). Cf. Sall. 6. The sentence is overloaded by standard invective terms.Crudelissimam and crudelitati within one phrase underline the author’s wish to show his knowledge of rhetorical vocabulary. Crudelis is a standard epithet for political despotism in Cicero (cf. Verr. 2, 1, 82; 2, 4, 73; 2, 5, 143; 145; Cat. 2, 14; Dom. 75, 94; Phil. 13, 18; Rep. 1, 44; Fam. 12, 12, 2; Att. 9, 10, 3, etc.). See also Dunkle 1967, 165, 169 f.; Craig 2004, 202. Libido as another term of political invective represented everything that was opposed to lex (cf. Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 82; 117; Sall. Iug. 31, 7; Ps.-Sall. Ep. ad Caes. 1, 3, 6; Liv. 2, 3, 1–5). See Dunkle 1967, 161 f., 166, 168 f. Here the author makes the opposition of lex and libido especially transparent: omnes leges in tua libidine erant. As a description of criminal capriciousness and despotism this term can be traced as far back as the time of Cato the Elder. Cf. C. Gracch. ORF2 49; Cic. Sen. 49; Liv. 39, 42, 6–7. Cf. Sall. Cat. 51, 21 and Cic. Rep. 2, 54. Lex Porcia, which forbade scourging and the death penalty for Roman citizens was proposed in 198BC by the tribune of the commons Publius Porcius Laeca and passed at the insistence of Cato the Elder who was then praetor. Cf. Liv. U. C. X, 9. See also Morstein-Marx 2004, 109 ff. Cf. Sall. Iug. 31, 9. Another attempt to imitate Sallust’s style, cf. Sall. Iug. 31, 22: parum est impune male fecisse. Cf. Cass. Dio 46, 21, 3. See Kurfess 1913c, 151. Cf. Sall. 7. A line from Cicero’ s poem De consulatu, fr. 16 Morel. Quoted by Quint., 11, 1, 24. Cf.Laus Calp. Pis. 34f.; Plin. N. H. 7, 117; Plut. Dem. et Cic. 2; Cic. Pis. 74; Phil. 2, 15ff.; 2, 17; 2, 19;Off. 1, 77. Cf. also Vretska 1961, II 52ff.

But why should I speak further of your arrogance, to whom Minerva taught all art; 49 who Jupiter , the Most Excellent and the Greatest, admitted to the council of the gods; 50 whom Italy bore back from exile upon her shoulders? 51 I beseech you, oh Romulus of Arpinum,52 who surpassed by outstanding merit all the Pauli, the Fabii, the Scipiones,53 tell us what place do you hold in this society? On which sides do you want to take your stand in the state? Who is your friend and who your enemy? You, busy sucking up to the very person you had been plotting against in this polity! 54 You busy harassing the man 55 through whose influence56 you came back from your exile at Dyrrhachium!57 You are now positively disposed to the power of people whom you used to call tyrants.58

See also Ewbank 1933, 77, 123f. The manuscripts read ‘laurea laudi’ instead of ‘laurea linguae’. Because of the preferable alliteration Cicero himself perhaps preferred ‘laudi’ to ‘linguae’, and the variant linguae is in all probability satirical. Cic. Pis. 74 and Off. 1, 77 read also ‘laudi’. See also A. Dyck, A Commentary on Cicero, De officiis. Ann Arbor 1996, 208 f. Cf. Cic. Dom. 144. Cf. Cic. Cat. 1, 11; 33; 3, 21; 22; Sull. 40; Dom. 92. Cf.

INVECTIVE AGAINST CAIUS SALLUSTIUS CRISPUS 1. It is at the very least, Caius Sallust, a considerable source of gratification that you lead a life that matches and corresponds to your words; you say nothing so coarse that it would not fully tally, in all manner of activities, with your conduct from early childhood, in such a way as to render your speech fully concordant with your character. For a person that lives as you do, is incapable of speaking in any manner other than the way you speak; nor can any person who uses such foul language, prove to be more honourable in his life. Whither, Fathers of the Senate, shall I turn my attention? Where shall I commence?1 The more eminent the both of us are, the bigger the burden of speaking placed on my shoulders.2 You see, if I respond to this contemptible fellow with reference to my way of life and my activities, envy will result from my brilliance,3 whereas if I expose his conduct, character and manner of living, I shall fall into the very same fault of effrontery, which I protest in him. If this offends you, let your anger more appropriately be directed against him than against me, since he set the insults rolling. 2. I shall do my best to answer in defence of myself, with the least possible contempt, rather than giving a false account of him. I do not – I recognise – expect much from this my response, Fathers of the Senate;

for you know 4 that you will not hear any new accusation against Sallust here, but you will recognise all those of old; accusations that have already been smouldering in my , and your, and even his own ears. Y ou however should all the more detest this man, who from the outset transgressed not in the minutiae, but entered the scene all guns blazing, so that no-one else could outdo him till the end of his days, nor could he entirely outdo himself. 3. He therefore bothers himself with nothing more, fine fellow that he is, than with attacking whomever he wants. 5 In this however he errs seriously, for life’s blemishes are not purified6 through the looseness of a fellow’s tongue. Yet there is a kind of verdict of false accusation, which each of us in his judgment bears witness to7 [about a person who brings false accusations against the virtuous]. 8 And if the life of this man overchar ges your memory, Fathers of the Senate, you must examine it not on the basis of his speech but of his behaviour. I shall attempt as best I can to be as brief as possible. This our disagreement will be of some use to you, Fathers of the Senate; since for the most part af fairs of state evolve through private quarrels, where no citizen can conceal what kind of man he is.9

4. To begin with, in view of the fact that Caius Sallust holds every person’s ancestors to the same benchmark and yardstick, 10 I would request he respond: did those Scipios and Metelli 11 he conjures up for us, have any particular renown or honourable standing previous to the actions they accomplished and the irreproachable conduct of their lives? 12 If these were the origins of their good name and dignity , why am I not similarly esteemed, aye, illustrious in my deeds, having led a life unblemished? As though you were a descendent of theirs, Sallust! 13 Had you been, a good many would now feel sore displeased at your disgrace. 5. With my merit I have outshone my ancestors, so that even if they were not previously well known, their commemoration would commence thanks to me. Whereas you, given the disgraceful life you have led, have enveloped your ancestors in utter darkness;14 even if they were illustrious citizens, because of you they have been conf ined to oblivion. 15 For this reason do not extol men of yore to me. I prefer to f lourish through my own deeds rather than rely on my ancestors’ reputation;

I prefer to live in such a way as to become a fount of dignity and a paradigm of virtue for those who come after me. It is not appropriate to compare me with those who have already passed and have no part in contemporary hatreds and jealousies but, rather , Fathers of the Senate, with those who are active alongside me now in this very polity. 6. And yet had I been excessively ambitious in my pursuit of honours – and I am not referring to the pursuit of popular approval, to which I plead guilty as charged, but to that ruinous ambition that undermines the laws, in which Sallust excelled – had I proved excessively severe in my administrative functions or in the punishment of transgressions, or indeed so vigilant – as you would say proscriptively so16 – in my defence of the state, not all those of your ilk would, so I deem it, remain in the city unscathed. Yet would the condition of the polity not have been much improved if you, who are similar to, in fact on a par with, criminal citizens, had been numbered among them? 7. Did I write ‘Let arms give way to the toga’, 17 mistakenly, then, when I, clothed in the toga, overwhelmed armed men and won the war through peace? Did I lie when I stated: ‘Oh Rome, fortunate to have me as a consul’,18

when I quenched such civil strife, such a f ire consuming the recesses of our city?19 And are you not troubled, defective fellow that you are, in chastising me for those very deeds for which you praise me in your own Histories?20 Do you then consider it more disgraceful to perjure yourself in writing than in plain speaking before this body? Turning to your complaint about my youth, it seems to me that lack of chastity has been quite as alien to me,21 as chastity to you. 8. But why should I further complain about you? For what falsehood do you consider below you, who dared criticise my eloquence, that very eloquence whose protection you always found indispensable when you were guilty? Or do you believe that any person, even one not trained in these arts and disciplines, can become an illustrious citizen? Do you on the contrary believe that there are other ways to sow the seed of virtue, to be swaddled in it, ways that nourish the mindset that longs for glory? But, Fathers of the Senate, it should be no surprise 22 that slothful in the extreme and decadent, such a man is astonished, as if he were faced by something novel and unusual. 9.

78–67 BC, and in all probability did not mention Cicero’ s consulship, but he deals with this theme in hisCatiline, and hardly praised Cicero. Cf. Sall.Cat. 23, 6; 26, 2–4 where Cicero indeed gets some praise, but on the other hand see Sall. Cat. 43, 1, where consul optumus is obviously meant satirically. 21 Cf. Cic. 2. 22 Cf. Cic. 2. 23 Cf.

But you were greatly mistaken, it seems to me, when you thought that you could breed envy against me over the question of my property ,25 of which I possess considerably less than I am worth. In any case, even if it were less than it in fact is, I would prefer that my friends were alive rather than becoming wealthier myself through their wills!26 10. Am I renegade then, Caius Sallust?27 It was I who yielded before the fury of the tribune of the commons. 28 I thought it more useful to experience whatever fortune came my way rather than to be a cause of civil disagreement for the whole of the Roman people. And after he had wasted away his year in of fice in debauchery,29 and after all that he had messed up had settled down again into peace and tranquillity, I returned, summoned by this very body; and the state herself led me by the hand.

people came out in crowds and congratulated me on my return, with all the other days of my life, it would, when I consider it, be the best. So highly did they value me, the renegade, the patron for a fee!30 11. And by Heaven it is nothing to wonder at if I always valued the impartial friendship of all. 31 For I was not at the beck and call 32 of any private person, was never a lackey , but determined who was my friend and who my enemy according to the level of his devotion to the state. There is nothing I appreciated more than the value of peace, 33 whereas many others supported the imprudence of individuals. 34 I was not afraid of anything apart from the laws, 35 whereas many others wished to be feared for their strength in arms. I never wanted to be powerful, except for your benef it, whereas many others, relying on the power they had from you, have misused their strength against you. And so it should not be surprising that I did not draw on the friendship of anyone who was not constant in his support of the state.36 12. I do not regret it, if, when Vatinius was accused and requested my protection, I promised it to him; nor if I restrained Sestius’ insolence; nor if I blamed Bibulus for his submissiveness; nor if I expressed admiration for Caesar ’s virtues. 37 These were praises for an illustrious citizen, and they were made but once.38 Should you lay them against me as a fault, it is your irresponsibility that will be rebuked, and not my fault that will be

blamed.39 I would speak on, if I had to explain these things to others, rather than to you, Fathers of the Senate, who were my counsellors in all 40 my acts. But when the facts are witnesses, what need is there for words? 13. And now to you, Sallust. I shall say nothing of your father; even if he did no wrong in his life, he could not have done greater damage to the state that to bring forth such a son. Nor shall I inquire after your childhood transgressions, in order not to appear to censure your father , who had full power over you at that time. But what a youth you did in fact lead! By revealing your disreputable early years it becomes easy indeed to understand how you grew up into one so debauch and insolent. Once the operations 41 of your extraordinarily debauch body could no longer satisfy your immense appetite, once your age had already become too mature to submit to someone else’s desires, you were carried away with incessant cravings42 wishing to try

on others all those things you did not consider disgusting for your own body.43 14. It is not easy to determine then, Fathers of the Senate, which parts of his body were the more shameful, those for which he was remunerated or those for which he remunerated others.44 He offered his father’s house for sale 45 [sold] 46 while his father was still alive. And can there be any doubt that he caused the death of that person, when he behaved in every way as an inheritor while his father was still alive?47 Yet he does not feel humiliated when he poses me the question, who is living in Publius Crassus’ house,48 while he himself cannot answer the question, who is living in his very father ’s house. “But, by Heaven, having fallen due to his youth and inexperience he later set himself to rights”.49 No, this is not the case. He fell in with the company of the sacrilege of Nigidius. 50 Twice hauled before a judge, he was all but condemned, yet slipped out in such a way that he was not considered innocent, but rather the judges were thought to have committed perjury. 15. When he obtained his f irst office, the quaestorship, he held this institution and this body in disdain,51 despite he himself

gaining access to it, debauch man. In fact, fearing that his crimes would remain secret from you, he confessed before you to his adultery , unabashed, in open hearing, even though he was a source of scandal to all the husbands of respectable women.52 You have lived as you liked, Sallust, and you have acted as you wished. It is enough that you alone are conscious of your crimes. Do not reproach us with indolence and excessive sloth. W e are attentive in defending the chastity of our wives but not so vigilant to be able to guard against you. Your audacity outfoxes our diligence. 16. And what disgraceful word or deed can impinge on him, who, Fathers of the Senate, was not ashamed to confess openly before you to adultery? Suppose I were to select not to respond to you in my own words but rather recite to you publicly , in the name of the law ,53 the censorial speeches delivered by Appius Claudius and Lucius Piso, 54 upright men both, even then would you not be of the opinion that I had branded you with everlasting stains, which you could not wash away till the end of your days? 55 And then after that selection of the Senate we saw you no more,
52 See Funaioli 1920, 1916 f. Cf. Gell. N. A. 17, 18; Porph. Hor. Serm. 1, 2, 41;
Serv. Aen. 6, 612. See Ernout 66, 83; SB 384–385. Cf. Sall. 9 and Corbeill 1996, 150 on the absence of logic on the part of the accuser. 53 Shackleton Bailey refers pro lege to Appius Claudius, and not to ‘Cicero’, i.e. for eloquium … quo usus est quisque eorum pr o lege , he translated: “a pronouncement which each one of them has treated as a law”. Cf. SB 385–387. 54 Appius Claudius Caecus, consul in 307 and 296BC, and Lucius Calpurnius Piso Frugi, consul in 133 BC, had both served as censors. Appius Claudius Caecus as censor in 312 before holding other offices was renowned for the strictness of his conduct. Lucius Calpurnius Piso Frugi, censor in 120 BC, earned his agnomen, which became hereditary, though his probity. So thought Ernout and Reynolds. Shackleton Bailey, however, argued that here Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus is meant, consul in 58 BC. He argued also, that here Appius Claudius and Lucius Piso Caesoninus are meant, who as censors expelled Sallust from the Senate in 51 BC. Cf. SB 385. 55 Cf. Cic. Verr. 5, 121.

except perhaps in those military camps where all the dregs of the state flowed.56 17. But this same Sallust, who could not even stay senator in time of peace, was thereafter, the state overcome by military force, recalled by the victor – when he summoned back the exiles – to the rank of quaestor and thus to the senate.57 He so administered this office that there was nothing for which a buyer could be found, that he did not in fact put up for sale.58 He behaved as if he considered correct and just all that he himself yearned for, creating turmoil and accruing debts as if he were a man who had received his office as plunder. 18. Having completed his quaestorship and having made grandiose promises59 to those with whom he was attached by the similarity of their way of living, he now gave the impression of being one of that faction. Sallust, you see, belonged to that grouping where all the imperfections gushed, like a deluge into drainage. The debauch, the hangers-on, 60 the murderers, the sacrilegious, the debtors, 61 whether from the city , or the municipalities, from the colonies, or from all of Italy , these were swallowed up there as if into the sea, all of them degenerate and infamous, 62 people in no way fit for the

the Senate were in all probability his actions in 52BC, when as a tribune he acted against Cicero and Titus Annius Milo (cf. Asc. Mil. 37, 45, 49, 51). See Koster 1980, 197. See also the historical context in ch. 1, p. 17 f. Cf. Cic. Cat. 2, 4, 7. Shackleton Bailey ar gued that forte here is awkward from the author ’s side, since it is a well-known fact, that Sallust fought on Caesar ’s side in the Civil War. Cf. SB 386. See ch. 1, p. 17 ff. This might refer to Sallust’ s second quaestorship in 49 BC. See also Ernout 67; SB 387. Cf. Sall. Iug. 35, 10. Cf. Ullman 1955; 370. Cf. Cic. Phil. 1, 4. See Ernout 83. See Ernout 83–84. Cf. Sall.

Perhaps then 65 he did not plunder his province to such an extent that never did our allies suffer nor even imagine anything more grievous in war than they endured in peace, while he was governor of Inner Africa? 66 From there he drained as much as he could carry off in financial transactions or could be thrust into ships. I would say , Fathers of the Senate, that he impounded as much he desired. He reached an agreement with Caesar for twelve hundred thousand sesterces in order not to be brought to trial. If these be at all false, disprove them here, in front of these people! 67 How is it that you, who could not even pawn back your father ’s house, suddenly, as if in a dream became wealthy and procured very precious gardens, 68 the Tiburtine country house of Caius Caesar 69 and the rest of your properties?70 20. And you are not ashamed to ask me why I bought the house of Publius Crassus,71 while you own the very72 house, which

Since no other evidence that Sallust possessed the house in T ibur survives, this might have been a rhetorical parry to counter Sallust’s accusations concerning Cicero’s ‘house in Tusculum’ (cf. Cic. 3, 4). Tusculum and Tibur (Tivoli) were both fashionable resorts for the wealthy, not too far from Rome. In Tusculum Cicero composed his philosophical works, Catullus owned a new villa near Tibur. Augustus, Hadrian and perhaps Horace also all had villas here. Cf. Sen. De benef. 4, 12, 3. 70 Cf.

recently belonged to Caesar. Let me just add, once you had not so much consumed as gulped down your inheritance, 73 by what means did you suddenly become so swish and opulent? For who would make you his heir, you, whom nobody would consider honest enough to count as a friend, unless he were such-like, such a fellow as you? But, by Heaven, the illustrious deeds of your ancestors extol you! 74 Whether you resemble them, or they resemble you, nothing can be added to the wickedness and worthlessness of you all. 21. Nay, I assume 75 rather that it is your of ficial positions that make you conceited. 76 Do you, Caius Sallust, think, that it is the same to be twice a senator and twice a quaestor, as to be twice a consular and twice to have had the honours of a triumph? 77 One should be free from any blemish, when one gets up to denounce somebody else. He who cannot bear to hear the truth from another , is in the end the one who wrongly abuses others. You, the parasite of all others’ hospitality , the poacher in your youth of all others’ bedrooms, and later their adulterous defiler, you are a disgrace to all ordered society and an evocation of the civil war .78 22. For what worse could we endure than to see you safe and sound in this assembly? Cease your vile haranguing of good men, 79 put a halt to your malady of impudence, cease

evaluating everybody with reference to your own character-traits.80 With such traits, a friend you cannot make; and so you seem to want to have an enemy. I bring my speech to a close, Fathers of the Senate; I note that all too often those people who speak openly about other peoples’ crimes cause greater offence to listeners that those who actually committed the crimes. I must therefore bear in mind, not the things Sallust deserves to hear , but rather what I can say, while still expressing myself in an honourable manner.81
