Cicero in chronological order?

I have conceived of a mad plan to read the whole of Cicero in chronological order, but am having difficulties coming up with a list. There are individual lists under different categories on this Wikipedia page, but not for the letters, which are traditionally arranged thematically. Does anyone know of a list of the letters (or indeed the whole corpus) in chronological order?

That's interesting. I guess you would have to get, I don't know, at some hypothetical very detailed biography of Cicero by some historian, where the historian would even try to date individual letters. You would need a Cicero expert, but not a latinist, but historian, a Cicero historian.

What an amazing coincidence. Just yesterday I wondered if such a thing existed. I had the same idea.

I suppose if you wanted the tedious route you could just go through an edition of the letters that gives the rough dates, look only at the dates, make a list for yourself, and then go through and read the actual letters in that order.

Yeah, that might be the only option.

There's an edition of the letters in chronological order by Shuckburgh, but only the first volume is online and it doesn't have a contents page.

Yes, that was the edition I meant: regrettably it only has one volume freely available.

As it happens, my university library has an edition with the letters in chronological order, so I started copying from the index yesterday. It might take a while, though: in an hour I only got as far as 54BCE.

If you could share the file or pictures of your handwritten notes of the chronological order, that could benefit us all.

What edition is that?

I can see the contents of all the volumes on the HathiTrust Digital Library site here. They can't be easily downloaded without an institutional login, however it's possible to read them online.

Sorry I took so long, I had to type it all out by hand. The single question marks (?) mean that I could find out the year but not the relative order of the work; the double question mark (??) that even the year is uncertain.

From Tyrrell and Purser (1901) The Correspondence of M. Tullius Cicero, Index volume (Dublin), and https://www.thelatinlibrary.com/101/CiceroChron.pdf

edit: I know this is really ugly, but I used tabs in the original document and they don't work on LatinD.

This is quite the list. Never fully realized how much Cicero wrote. :eek:
Pretty sure we have more surviving works from Cicero than from any other author.
Although he's not the most prolific – that might be Varro Reatinus, who may have written as many as 600 books (including 150 books of Menippean Satires, 76 of Logistorici, 25 De Lingua Latina, 41 of Antiquitates, etc., most of which have been lost :()

This discussion reminds me of Bede's "CV", which he wrote at the end of his Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum and which I found rather impressive (though it comes nowhere near 600 books):
Haec de historia ecclesiastica Brittaniarum, et maxime gentis Anglorum, prout uel ex litteris antiquorum, uel ex traditione maiorum, uel ex mea ipse cognitione scire potui, Domino adiuuante digessi Baeda famulus Christi, et presbyter monasterii beatorum apostolorum Petri et Pauli, quod est ad Uiuraemuda, et Ingyruum.
Qui natus in territorio eiusdem monasterii, cum essem annorum septem, cura propinquorum datus sum educandus reuerentissimo abbati Benedicto, ac deinde Ceolfrido; cunctumque ex eo tempus uitae in eiusdem monasterii habitatione peragens, omnem meditandis scripturis operam dedi; atque inter obseruantiam disciplinae regularis, et cotidianam cantandi in ecclesia curam, semper aut discere, aut docere, aut scribere dulce habui.
Nono decimo autem uitae meae anno diaconatum, tricesimo gradum presbyteratus, utrumque per ministerium reuerentissimi episcopi Iohannis, iubente Ceolfrido abbate, suscepi.
Ex quo tempore accepti presbyteratus usque ad annum aetatis meae LVIIII, haec in scripturam sanctam meae meorumque necessitati ex opusculis uenerabilium patrum breuiter adnotare, siue etiam ad formam sensus et interpretationis eorum superadicere curaui:
‘In principium Genesis, usque ad natiuitatem Isaac et eiectionem Ismahelis, libros IIII.
De tabernaculo et uasis eius, ac uestibus sacerdotum, libros III.
In primam partem Samuelis, id est usque ad mortem Saulis, libros III.
De aedificatione templi, allegoricae expositionis, sicut et cetera, libros II.
Item, in Regum librum XXX quaestionum.
In Prouerbia Salomonis libros III.
In Cantica canticorum libros VII.
In Isaiam, Danihelem, XII prophetas, et partem Hieremiae, distinctiones capitulorum ex tractatu beati Hieronimi excerptas.
In Ezram et Neemiam libros III.
In Canticum Habacum librum I.
In librum beati patris Tobiae explanationis allegoricae de Christo et ecclesia librum I.
Item, Capitula lectionum in Pentateucum Mosi, Iosue, Iudicum;
In libros Regum et Uerba dierum;
In librum beati patris Iob;
In Parabolas, Ecclesiasten, et Cantica canticorum;
In Isaiam prophetam, Ezram quoque et Neemiam.
In euangelium Marci libros IIII.
In euangelium Lucae libros VI.
Omeliarum euangelii libros II.
In apostolum quaecumque in opusculis sancti Augustini exposita inueni, cuncta per ordinem transscribere curaui.
In Actus apostolorum libros II.
In Epistulas VII catholicas libros singulos.
In Apocalypsin sancti Iohannis libros III.
Item, Capitula lectionum in totum nouum testamentum, excepto euangelio.
Item librum epistularum ad diuersos: quarum de sex aetatibus saeculi una est; de mansionibus filiorum Israel una; una de eo, quod ait Isaias: ‘Et claudentur ibi in carcerem, et post dies multos uisitabantur;’ de ratione bissexti una; de aequinoctio iuxta Anatolium una.
Item de historiis sanctorum: librum uitae et passionis sancti Felicis confessoris de metrico Paulini opere in prosam transtuli; librum uitae et passionis sancti Anastasii, male de Greco translatum, et peius a quodam inperito emendatum, prout potui, ad sensum correxi; uitam sancti patris monachi simul et antistitis Cudbercti, et prius heroico metro et postmodum plano sermone, descripsi.
Historiam abbatum monasterii huius, in quo supernae pietati deseruire gaudeo, Benedicti, Ceolfridi, et Huaetbercti in libellis duobus.
Historiam ecclesiasticam nostrae insulae ac gentis in libris V.
Martyrologium de nataliciis sanctorum martyrum diebus; in quo omnes, quos inuenire potui, non solum qua die, uerum etiam quo genere certaminis, uel sub quo iudice mundum uicerint, diligenter adnotare studui.
Librum hymnorum diuerso metro siue rhythmo.
Librum epigrammatum heroico metro, siue elegiaco.
De natura rerum, et de temporibus libros singulos; item de temporibus librum I maiorem.
Librum de orthographia, alfabeti ordine distinctum.
Item librum de metrica arte, et huic adiectum alium de schematibus siue tropis libellum, hoc est de figuris modisque locutionum, quibus scriptura sancta contexta est.’

Iáson, are all the letters included on your list? Or are there some that are just completely undatable?
I'm not sure, but I think all of them. Certainly I put down everything that was in the list.
