Fronto

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Fronto (Marcus Cornelius Fronto) (frŏn`tō), fl. 2d cent., Roman teacher and rhetorician, b. Numidia, Africa. Antoninus Pius made him consul in 143. A successful teacher and government official, Fronto was an admirer of the early Latin writers and tried unsuccessfully to bring about a renaissance. His extant correspondence (2 vol, 1919–20, Loeb Classical Library) with Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus, Emperor Antoninus Pius, and others, is invaluable for insights into imperial life.

Leaving aside the incongruity of a classical author, whether Cornelius Fronto or Frontinus, writing about modern artillery, we can concentrate our attention on the adverbial phrase "de praesent" as applied to the Abbey of Theleme, which is first described in the last six chapters of Gargantua and mentioned occasionally in subsequent books.
