Institutionis Oratoriae Libri Duodecim... [Latin]

By Marcus Fabius Quintilianus and Eduard Bonnell

Institutionis Oratoriae Libri Duodecim... is a comprehensive treatise on rhetoric by Marcus Fabius Quintilianus, a Roman educator and orator. Written in Latin, this work, often referred to as "Institutes of Oratory," details the training and development of a perfect orator, from early childhood education to advanced rhetorical techniques. Quintilian covers a wide range of topics including grammar, composition, style, and delivery, drawing upon the teachings of earlier Greek and Roman rhetoricians.

This foundational text not only provides practical guidance for public speaking but also offers insights into Roman society, education, and values. As a cornerstone of classical education, Institutionis Oratoriae has influenced rhetorical theory and practice for centuries and remains a valuable resource for students of literature, rhetoric, and classical history.
