What makes this different

A few things, taken together, set this edition apart. Click any to expand.

One voice across letters and speech.

The ten books of Letters and the Panegyricus by one translator under a single style guide — Pliny's polished, self-aware Latin in one register, where other complete editions mix hands.

Arranged as written.

Read in the order Pliny published them, the Letters and the Panegyricus form one self-portrait of a Roman gentleman managing his career and his image.

A scholarly apparatus alongside.

A glossary of every correspondent, place and office, the Latin facing the text, and cross-references — what plain e-book editions omit.

From the Latin.

Read from Pliny's Latin directly, not adapted from an older English version. The text comes from open scholarly sources.
