Cicero's writings were widely available in the Middle Ages. Particularly of note is Paris MS 7530, written between 779 and 796 AD at the abbey of Monte Cassino, which contains some fifty-eight writings on grammar, rhetoric, dialectic, and related topics. From the 1000s onward there was a healthy commentary on many of Cicero's works including his juvenilia.
