- Title
CONYERS MIDDLETON'S ALLEGED PLAGIARISM.
- Authors
Clarke, M. L.
- Abstract
The article discusses English clergyman Conyers Middleton's book "Life of Cicero." It went through several editions, the last in 1837, and was translated into French and Spanish. Agreeably written and well documented, it deserved its success. Its reputation has, however, suffered from the belief that it was extensively plagiarized from a work by the Scotsman William Bellenden, published in Paris, France in 1634 with the title "De Tribus Luminibus Romanorum," a curious work that consists of passages from Cicero's writings put together to form a continuous history of Rome from the earliest times.
