Originally published in 1924, this book contains the Latin text of the first book of Quintillian's Institutionis Oratoriae. Quintillian's work on oratorical principles was much respected during the revival of Classical learning in the Renaissance, but largely forgotten subsequently. Colson supplies a detailed exegetical commentary, as well as a thorough history of the composition of Quintillian's work and its transmission through the ages. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in ancient oratory or in this long-neglected text.
A twelve-volume textbook on the theory and practice of rhetoric
Cameos showcase Tiberius in private and Augustus in court, with Pompey the Great on campaign and Phaedrus himself struggling against prejudice and persecution, and tales feature all sorts - a toadying slave, wicked servant, vain musician, effeminate soldier, sexy poet, and rogue quack. These forgotten tales tell short and clear Roman parables of power and powerlessness. Humorous and acute, they explain, and protest at, the Caesars, and they sit perfectly among Aesop's sadistic lions, murderous wolves, and apes in purple."--Jacket.
