Institutio Oratoria

By Marcus Fabius Quintilian

Quintilian (or Marcus Fabius Quintilianus) was an educator and rhetorician born in 35 AD, whose sole surviving major work--this Institutio Oratoria or "Institutes of Oratory"--has endured with great influence over the millennia. Spanning twelve books, Quintilian takes up nearly every topic of rhetoric; from the manner of a youth's education towards the development of eloquence, to the role of imitation and the history of great orators, to the parts of an oration, the knowledge necessary, and the best way to argue different kinds of legal cases. This English-edition reprint, using the translation of H.E. Butler originally published in the 1920s, includes all twelve books and is priced to make Quintilian more accessible for a wider audience.
