Yonge and other public-domain English orations, now at Gutenberg, made Catilines and Philippics classroom English.

Context

English spreads both execution-headings and anti-kingship.

Cicero is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

Why it matters

A Gutenberg oration is not a Palimpsest.

A Gutenberg oration is not a Palimpsest.

Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
