Vs: [CLASSICS-L] Cicero, De natura deorum; numbering question

Dear Caroline,

Thank you so much! I had noticed a remark on this regarding Cicero's Academica, but good to know this applies to all of his works. Thank you also for the reference; will check it!

All the best,
Ivo

Teema: Re: [CLASSICS-L] Cicero, De natura deorum; numbering question

Dear Ivo,
In every work by Cicero, the longer chapters are the product of Janus
Gruter, who published an edition of all the works in 1618, while the
shorter ones are the product of an edition by Alexander Scot from 1588.
John Glucker wrote a very interesting article in which he puzzled this out:
"Chapter and Verse in Cicero," Grazer Beiträge 11 (1984): 3-12

All the best,
Caroline
