Description
The Lesser Declamations by Quintilian A collection of specimen speeches for budding Roman lawyers, this work provides insight into Roman law and education. Dating from perhaps the second century AD, it represents classroom materials for students of rhetoric and argumentation. These speeches cover a wide range of scenarios, including fictional court cases that evoke plots from ancient novels and comedies, as well as more serious matters such as warfare, smuggling, and historical events. The instructor who composed these speeches offers comments and suggestions on presentation and arguing tactics, making this work a valuable resource for understanding Roman law and education. This two-volume edition features a fluent translation by D. R. Shackleton Bailey facing an updated Latin text, bringing the surviving 145 sample cases to readers in English for the first time.
