Oxford University Press - The Oxford Handbook of Quintilian

Explore the life and legacy of one of antiquity's most influential figures with The Oxford Handbook of Quintilian. Published by Oxford University Press, this volume provides a deep look into the work of M. Fabius Quintilianus, a first-century CE orator, declaimer, and teacher of eloquence. This handbook focuses on the Institutio oratoria, a unique treatise that serves as both a handbook of rhetoric and an educational guide. Beyond the Institutio, the text examines Quintilian's broader influence, including the two collections of Declamations attributed to him. Designed for students and scholars of ancient history and Greco-Roman rhetoric, this book traces how Quintilian's theories shaped the history of speech and education. It serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding his role in the development of classical rhetorical theory and practice.
