Omschrijving
The works here edited and (for the first time) translated show the survival of an Aristotelian tradition in rhetoric before the revision of the subject by Hermogenes. The Anonymous' primary interest was in rhetorical theory, Apsines' in analysis of Attic oratory and in teaching declamation.
'Interested students and scholars […] who do not read Greek […] will now be able to make effective use of these primary sources of the professional rhetorical world of the Eastern Roman empire…The translations[…] are highly accurate.' Harvey Yunis, Bryn Mawr Classical Review.
