Institutio Oratoria, books 1-3 (Loeb Classical Library)

by Marcus Fabius Quintilianus

Series:Institutio Oratoria (1)

Description

Quintilian was born in Spain about A.D. 35; he became a well-known and prosperous teacher of rhetoric in Rome, probably the first to receive a salary as such from public funds. His Institutio Oratoria (Training of an Orator), a comprehensive training program in twelve books, draws on his own rich experience. Here Quintilian gives guidelines for proper schooling (beginning with the young boy); analyzes the structure of speeches and recommends devices for engaging listeners and appealing to show more their emotions; reviews a wide range of Greek and Latin authors of use to the orator; and counsels on memory, delivery, and gestures. This practical guide, in lucid style, provides valuable insight on Roman education. The work also yields many a memorable comment on the styles of various writers. show less

Some of Quintilian's ideas about oratory and trial practice are of course somewhat dated, but others are amazingly modern. He says many things that you can find in a modern trial practice text.
