Summary: "The Letters of Cassiodorus" by Senator Cassiodorus is a historical collection of correspondence composed in the late 6th century. This work presents a condensed translation of the 'Variae Epistolae', which features letters that offer insight into the political landscape of the time, particularly under the reign of Theodoric the Great. The letters serve as a vital source for understanding the dynamics between Roman and Teutonic cultures during the transition from the ancient world to the medieval age. The opening of the collection introduces the context for the letters, framing them as essential correspondence tied closely to historical events and political affairs of the time. The translator, Thomas Hodgkin, explains his approach in presenting an abstract rendition intended for scholars interested in the interplay of Roman and Gothic civilizations. He notes the challenges faced when interpreting and condensing Cassiodorus's lengthy and often repetitive style, aiming to retain essential details and making the text accessible for readers keen on exploring the governance and societal complexities of 6th-century Italy.
