Publisher's Synopsis
Macrobii Ambrosii Theodosii Opera Quae Supersunt, Volume 1, presents the surviving works of Ambrosius Aurelius Theodosius Macrobius, a writer and philosopher of Late Antiquity. This volume offers invaluable insights into the intellectual landscape of the late Roman Empire, showcasing Macrobius's contributions to literature, philosophy, and historical thought.

His writings reflect the syncretic nature of late Roman intellectual life, combining elements of classical learning with emerging Christian perspectives. This edition provides scholars and enthusiasts with a critical resource for understanding the transmission of classical knowledge and the development of Western thought. It remains a significant text for those studying the history of ideas and the legacy of ancient wisdom.
