Description: Title: [De Institutione Oratoria], August 1514 Author: Marcus Fabius Quintilianus Publisher: Venice, Aldus Manutius Condition: Very Good The first Aldine edition of Quintilian's De Institutione Oratoria, on the teaching of speaking and writing. This is also the only edition printed by Aldus Manutius himself. Quintilian spent the latter years of his life in retirement writing this work, covering the theory and practice of rhetoric, as well as the foundational education and development of the orator himself. De Institutione Oratoria can be considered a treatise on education, or a manual of rhetoric, a handbook on moral duties of the orator.

One finely bound volume in octavo, (4)+230 leaves This volume is in very good shape, with minimal rubbing or wear to the binding. There is a damp stain to the front imprint and contents page, and very little foxing or staining elsewhere.
