Rhetorical Exercises from Late Antiquity - A Translation of Choricius of Gaza's Preliminary Talks and Declamations (Hardcover)

The first translation, produced by a team of eight scholars, of the
Declamations and Preliminary Talks of the sixth-century sophist
Choricius of Gaza. Declamations, deliberative or judicial orations
on fictitious themes, were the fundamental advanced exercises of
the rhetorical schools of the Roman Empire, of interest also to
audiences outside the schools. Some of Choricius' declamations are
on generic themes (e.g. a tyrannicide, a war-hero), while others
are based on specific motifs from Homeric times or from classical
Greek history. The Preliminary Talks were typical prefaces to
orations of all kinds. This volume also contains a detailed study
of Choricius' reception in Byzantium and Renaissance Italy. It will
be of interest to students of late antiquity, ancient rhetoric, and
ancient education.
