This research entitled "Philosophy and religion in book II of Cicero's De Diuinatione" constitutes a philological approach to the content of this treatise, which is composed - it should be remembered - of two diptychs.

In any case, the art and the law of augury must be maintained, because they are based on an instinctive wisdom which it would be unreasonable to refuse.
