Opera Quae Supersunt presents the surviving works of Ambrosius Aurelius Theodosius Macrobius, a writer and philosopher of the late Roman Empire. This collection offers invaluable insights into the intellectual landscape of the 5th century AD, reflecting a blend of Neoplatonic philosophy, Roman traditions, and scientific inquiry. Macrobius's writings, including the celebrated commentary on Cicero's 'Somnium Scipionis, ' explore topics ranging from cosmology and mythology to literary criticism and moral philosophy. His work is essential for understanding the transmission of classical knowledge during the transitional period between antiquity and the early Middle Ages. This edition provides scholars and students with a comprehensive resource for studying Macrobius's contributions to Western thought and his enduring influence on subsequent generations of thinkers.
