Sinopsis

This volume contains the Greek text, textual apparatus, and first published English translation of two treatises on rhetoric, with introductory material and notes. Once attributed to Hermogenes of Tarsus, these treatises are now believed to be by unknown authors writing in the second or third century C.E. or later. The first treatise, entitled "On Invention," is a handbook for students providing formulas to aid them in the composition of declamations on assigned themes. The second treatise, "On the Method of Forcefulness," discusses prose style with special attention to figures of speech. Extensive notes interpret the often-difficult content and relate it to other writing on rhetoric. The Greek text is that of Hugo Rabe (1913). Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org)

Críticas

"The manuals of rhetoric ascribed to Hermogenes were essential textbooks in secondary education in late antiquity and the Byzantine empire, and their influence continued in the Renaissance. This new translation facing the Greek text and accompanied by the notes of Professor Kennedy, the leading expert in the field, will permit a much better understanding of these important works." Nigel Wilson, Lincoln College, Oxford University"
