Pencilling to rear endpaper else fine. ; Is it fair to judge early Greek rhetoric by the standards of Plato and Aristotle? This text argues that it is not, and yet this is the path taken by current scholarship on the subject. Arguing against this view, this work sees early Greek rhetoric as largely unsystematic efforts to explore, more by means than by precept, all aspects of discourse. Replacing these early text by such treatises as the "Rhetoric" of Aristotle, Cole explains, can only be understood as part of a gradual process, as artistic prose came to be disseminated in written texts and so available in a form that, for the first time, be analyzed, evaluated and closely imitated. ; Ancient Society and History; 191 pages

Very light bump to 1 corner else book is fine. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; Themistius was a philosopher, a prominent Constantinopolitan senator, and an adviser to Roman emperors during the fourth century A. D. In this first translation of Themistius's private orations to be published in English, Robert J. Penella makes accessible texts that shed significant light on the culture of Constantinople and, more generally, the eastern Roman empire during the fourth century. The sixteen speeches translated here are equipped with ample annotations and an informative introduction, making them a valuable resource on the late antique period, as well as on Greek intellectual history and oratory. In Themistius's public orations, he played the role of imperial panegyrist, but in the "private" or unofficial orations presented here, the senator concerns himself with apologetics, rhetorical and philosophical programs, material of autobiographical interest, and ethical themes. The speeches are valuable as evidence for the political, social, philosophical, religious, and literary history of fourth century Byzantium, and as examples of pagan ideology and eloquence in the newly Christianized court. Themistius argues, among other things, that the philosopher should be involved in public affairs, that the lessons of philosophy should be broadcast to the masses, and that it is appropriate for the philosopher to be an effective orator in order to circulate his teachings. ; Transformation of the Classical Heritage; 1.12 x 9.32 x 6.29 Inches; 258 pages

Edition originale. Estimé par ses contemporains, loué par Diderot dans l'Encyclopédie, ce traité demeure l'une des sources principales sur la prosodie et les phénomènes de prononciation, d'accentuation et d'intonation du français dans la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle. "Ouvrage, dit Voltaire, qui subsistera autant que la langue française, qu'il venge des injustes reproches qu'osaient lui adresser des écrivains peu exercés dans l'art de la manier" (cité par "France littéraire", VI, 481). Ami de Boileau et professeur de Voltaire, l'abbé d'Olivet fréquenta le salon de la marquise de Lambert. Il fut élu membre de l'Académie française en 1723 et devint l'un des rédacteurs les plus actifs du 'Dictionnaire'. Bel exemplaire, très frais, bien relié à l'époque.
