Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on rhetoric, this volume presents the Greek text and first English translation of two treatises, traditionally linked to Hermogenes of Tarsus but now attributed to unknown authors from the second or third century C.E. "On Invention" serves as a practical guide for students on composing declamations, while "On the Method of Forcefulness" explores prose style and figures of speech. The book includes extensive notes to clarify complex concepts and connect them with broader rhetorical literature, based on the Greek text established by Hugo Rabe in 1913.
