Anthology of selected passages from the History, translated and commented.
With an introduction by Giovanni Roberti (19th-20th centuries), classical scholar, translator, and educator. Roberti specialized in Greek rhetoric and philology, and was the author of La eloquenza greca (1891-1894), a two-volume work offering Italian translations of speeches by Pericles (Thuc. 2.34-46, Pericles' Funeral Oration), Lysias, Isocrates, and Demosthenes, accompanied by historical and literary commentary. Roberti also published studies on pre-Demosthenic orators, as well as several pedagogical works on Greek and Latin grammar.
