feature an introductory chapter. In the new volumes additional essays delve into specific
aspects of the works illuminating their historical context and reception to the present day.

annotations make the Sammlung Tusculum essential reading for students who are discovering an
ancient author for the first time as well as professional scholars who would like to gain a
deeper understanding of specific aspects of a given work. Moreover the series is ideal for lay
readers who would like to engage with antiquity through a reliable German translation. The
series contains over 270 titles available in print and eBook editions making previously
out-of-print titles and rarities available again for the first time. In order to celebrate the
90th anniversary of the series De Gruyter is proud to present Tusculum Online an eBook
package which contains all titles that appeared between 1923 and 2013 - a fitting tribute to an
important part of German publishing history.
