Dewey Decimal808.5/1
SynopsisQuintilian's method is based on the interrelationship between speaking, reading, and writing. Murphy lists and defines the main elements that appear in theInstitutio oratorio.Each of these elements—Precept, Imitation, Composition Exercises, Declamation, and Sequencing—is further subdivided according to goals and exercises. The first two books of theInstitutio oratorioconcern the early education of the orator, with the focus on the interplay between seen-language and heard-language. Book Ten is an adult's commentary on the instruction of rhetoric. It involves itself primarily withfacilitas,the readiness to use language in any situation.

"Quintilian on the Teaching of Speaking and Writing" is an adequate title for this brief abridgement.
These are excerpts from the greatest Latin teacher of rhetoric, and there is lots of good advice. Unfortunately, the parts where Quintilian delves into the classification of figures of speech (e.g., hyperbole, synecdoche, litotes, metaphor, etc.), and examples of their use, are omitted, which many consider to be the most valuable part of his work. So, I will likely be looking for a used copy of the Loeb full edition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
