BIBLIOGRAPHY
1. M. Cornelii Frontonis Opera inedita cum Epistulis item ineditis Antonini Pii, M. Aurelii, L. Veri, et Appiani, necnon aliorum fragmentis. Invenit et commentario praevio notisque illustravit Angelica Maius. Pars prior. Pars altera,, cui adduntur seu edita seu cognita eiusdem Frontonis opera: Mediolani, regiis typis, 1815, 4to.
This first edition only contained the Fronto leaves from the Ambrosian Codex with a facsimile page of the MS., followed by the two works previously attributed to Fronto, viz. De Differentiis Vocabulorum and Exempla Elocutionum, together with the passages in Aulus Gellius where Fronto is mentioned.
2. M. Cornelii Frontonis Reliquiae ab Angelo Maio primum editae: meliorem in ordinem digestas suisque et Ph. Buttmanni, L. F. Heindorfii ac selectis a Maii animadversionibus instructas iterum edidit B. G. Niebuhrius, C.F. Aecedunt Liber de Differentiis Vocabulorum et ab eodem a Maio primum edita Q. Aurelii Symmachi octo orationum fragmenta: Berolini, MDCCCXVI.
This was a great advance on Mai's edition, many of his erroneous readings being corrected, the text itself emended in various places, the dislocated fragments better arranged, and valuable notes added.
3. M. Cornelii Frontonis et M. Aurelii Imperatoris Epistulae: L. Veri et Antonini Pii et Appiani Epistularum reliquiae: Fragmenta Frontonis et Scripta Grammatica. Editio prima Romana plus centum epistulis aucta ex codice rescripto bibliothecae pontificiae Vaticanae, curante Angelo Maio: Romae, MDCCCXXIII.
​This, besides the same facsimile and supplements as the Milan edition, has a second facsimile page of the Vatican MS., the Caecilius signature, and a few lines of the Palatine palimpsest, containing part of Fronto's Actio Gratiarum pro Carthaginiensibus, the whole of which fragment, as far as it is decipherable, is given at the end of the volume.
4. Lettres inédites de Marc Aurèle et de Fronton retrouvées sur les palimpsestes de Milan H de, Rome: traduites avec le texte latin en regard et des notes par M. Armand Cassan: 2 vols., Paris, 1830.
This is a most disappointing edition. No improvements are made in the text and the translation evades or omits all the difficulties. But the notes, with their numerous illustrative passages from the older Roman writers, are useful.
5. In 1832 the Vatican portion of Mai's Roman edition was published at Zell by Schultz. It had no new features.
6. In 1867 S. A. Naber brought out the serviceable edition, from which everyone has since derived his knowledge of Fronto. Its title was: M. Cornelii Frontonis et M. Aurelii Imperatoris Epistulae: L. Veri et T. Antonini Pii et Appiani Epistularum Reliquiae: post Angelum Maium cum, codicibus Ambrosiano et Vaticano iterum contulit G. N. du Rieu: recensuit Samuel Adrianus Naber: Lipsiae, 1867.
This was a great improvement on previous editions, the text being based on a fresh inspection of the MS. by du Rieu in 1858. But it left a great deal still to be desired. Owing to certain perverse ideas, especially about the date of Marcus's marriage, the editor went far astray in his chronology of the correspondence. The main indices, taken almost entirely from Mai, are totally inadequate.
The following translations of selected letters from the correspondence have appeared in English:—
(a) Selections from Fronto's Letters, translated into English: Rome, 1824. By J. McQuige. This contains paraphrases rather than translations of some twenty-three of the letters.
​(b) Dr. W. H. D. Rouse, in an Appendix to his edition of Meric Casaubon's translation of the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, published in 1900, has given us an excellent version of some entire letters and parts of many others.
(c) Miss M. D. Brock, Litt.D. Dubl., in her Studies in Fronto and his Age, published in 1911, has translated more than thirty letters, mostly in full, with the text opposite. Her rendering gives a very good idea of the original, and the whole book is most helpful to the student or Fronto and his literary claims.
Besides the above, P. B. Watson, in his Life of Marcus Aurelius, London, 1884, gives versions of several passages from the Correspondence, but he is an unsafe guide as to Fronto's meaning, his knowledge of Latin being inadequate.
A more scholarly contribution to the same subject is that of Hastings Crossley in his Fourth Book of the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, London, 1882, an appendix to which contains a number of select passages from the letters admirably Englished with a running comment.
Finally, Robinson Ellis published at Oxford in 1904 a lecture on The Correspondence of Fronto and Marcus Aurelius. It translates a considerable number of passages from various parts of the work with connecting comments.
