Unterricht in der Beredsamkeit by Quintilian
"Unterricht in der Beredsamkeit" by Quintilian is a comprehensive treatise on rhetoric written in the 1st century AD. This work serves as a pedagogical guide, aiming to instruct aspiring orators on the principles and practices of effective speaking and writing. It delves deep into the art of rhetoric, emphasizing both the technical aspects of eloquence and the moral standards expected of a speaker. At the start of this text, Quintilian introduces the
foundational elements necessary for mastering rhetoric. He discusses the importance of a rich vocabulary and suggests that a speaker must not only know various expressions but also be adept at using them appropriately. Quintilian outlines the connections between reading, writing, and speaking as crucial for developing genuine eloquence. He presents a holistic approach that intertwines the theoretical aspects of rhetoric with practical skills, laying the groundwork for what he deems effective oration.
