Interpretative Survey of Quintilian Editions and Translations from 1470 until the Present
This chapter offers a systematic and analytical survey of the printed editions and translations of Quintilian’s Institutio and the pseudo-Quintilian Major and Minor Declamations from the editio princeps of the Institutio in 1470 until the present day. It is based on the critical work done by early modern bibliographers (especially Gesner in his edition of the Institutio, 1738, Fabricius in his Bibliotheca Latina, 1773, and the editors of the Bipo…
Quintilian’s Underlying Educational Programme
This chapter discusses the educational programme presented in Books 1, 2, and 10 of the Institutio, in connection with Quintilian’s view that rhetoric is a virtue and his pedagogical principles, which not only constitute the foundation of his review of the curricula of grammar and rhetoric, but also inform his discussion of rhetoric in the entire work. The Roman ideal of the perfect orator is central to Quintilian’s ideas on education, but these …
Quintilian
In addition to the biographical testimonies in Martial (Epigrams 2.90.2), Ausonius (Professors of Bordeaux 1.7), and Jerome (Chronicon, notes at year 68 and 88), there are some autobiographical remarks in Quintilian’s Institutio, most of which are difficult to mark with a date. Using this scant evidence, scholars from the second half of the fifteenth century onwards have attempted to construct the life of Quintilian. The most extensive and probab…
The Oxford Handbook of Quintilian
M. Fabius Quintilianus was a prominent orator, declaimer, and teacher of eloquence in the first century ce. After his retirement he wrote the Institutio oratoria, a unique treatise in Antiquity because it is a handbook of rhetoric and an educational treatise in one. Quintilian’s fame and influence are not only based on the Institutio, but also on the two collections of Declamations which were attributed to him in late Antiquity. The Oxford Handbo…
L’attaque de pierre de la Ramée contre la rhétorique antique
Cet article offre une analyse succincte des œuvres critiques de Ramus contre les deux grands rhéteurs de l’ancienne Rome, Cicéron et Quintilien, les Brutinae Quaestiones in Oratorem Ciceronis de 1547 et les Rhetoricae Distinctiones in Quintilianum de 1549. Ces œuvres se présentent comme des commentaires textuels, mais elles ne constituent pas une contribution substantielle à l’étude philologique des deux traités antiques. Elles semblent plutôt av…
Vergil and the Batavians (Aeneid 8.727)
It is very likely that Vergil in Aeneid 8.727 refers to the Batavians, either on their own or as the leading tribe in the region. This conclusion may be drawn from the poet’s use of the word bicornis in line 727 and the manner in which he places the words Rhenus bicornis within the context of lines 722-728
The Use of exempla in Roman Declamation
In this paper I present a list of the exempla used in the four surviving ancient collections of declamations (see Appendix: checklist of exempla), with a brief survey of the theory of the exemplum in rhetorical handbooks and discussion of a few samples from the Controversiae and the Declamationes maiores. My observations suggest that Seneca's criticism of the use of exempla in declamations (Contr. 7.5.12–13) is exaggerated
Cornelius Agrippa, The Humanist Theologian and His Declamations
This study, based on a fresh reading of the entire correspondence, the surviving orations, declamations and other relevant treatises, contains an innovative interpretation of the philosophical and theological thought of Henry Cornelius Agrippa of Nettesheim (1486-1535). The first chapters contain a close study of his controversy with the scholastic theologians, which Agrippa carried on throughout his life, particularly with the theologians of Lou…
De Novis Libris Iudicia
The Latin Declamatio in Renaissance Humanism
This article lays out the abundant and diverse material relating to the humanist declamatio. In their assessment of ancient declamation, the humanists stressed Cicero's practice of thesis as a rhetorical exercise, and the critique, formulated by Seneca the Elder and Quintilian, of the unrealistic controversia and suasoria. A common feature of the theory and practice of humanist school declamation is its highly moralistic and didactic tendency. In…
