By Erasmus, Paul Monroe, Izora Scott

Book Overview

""Ciceronianus or A Dialogue On The Best Style Of Speaking"" is a book written by the famous Renaissance humanist, Desiderius Erasmus. The book is essentially a dialogue between two characters, one of whom argues for the superiority of Cicero's style of speaking and writing, while the other argues against it. The book is a treatise on the art of rhetoric and is meant to be a guide for those who wish to improve their speaking and writing skills. Erasmus uses the dialogue format to explore the strengths and weaknesses of different styles of speaking and writing, and to provide practical advice on how to improve one's own style. The book is considered a classic of Renaissance literature and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
