CICERO’S DE ORATORE FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE ADVENT OF PRINT by JOANNA JURY Under the Direction of Nick Wilding, PhD ABSTRACT Why did the first printers in Italy choose Cicero’s de Oratore in 1465? How did it come to epitomize Renaissance theories of education by the text’s rediscovery in 1421? Studies of Ciceronian oratory have traditionally fallen into two camps: philological scholarship focused on Cicero’s rhetorical works as they were produced during the ancient Roman Republic, and, historical studies of the reception of Cicero’s speeches among later humanists. This bifurcation of scholarship has often overlooked, however, the titular role played by Cicero’s theory of education and its articulation in his philosophical treatise on rhetoric, the de Oratore. A philosophical dialogue that described Cicero’s ideal orator, de Oratore offered a unique vision of what it meant to be “educated.” This interdependent vision of rhetoric and philosophy embodied in the de Oratore, as well as the text's legacy of transmission through Roman imperial and Late Antique writers, inspired the literati of the Renaissance to adopt the Ciceronian corpus into the humanistic curriculum and, more importantly, to base a western concept of education on Ciceronian principles of oratory. This project analyzes Ciceronian oratory within its ancient context and demonstrates the fragility of de Oratore’s transmission from antiquity to the early modern period. The argument hinges strongly on understanding the reception of the de Oratore during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as a printed object. Using the introductions, front matters, and marginalia of early printed texts, I show that humanist scholars engaged with Cicero and his vision of "philosophical oratory.” This research makes several important contributions to the fields of both classical and Renaissance scholarship. Close study of the de Oratore as both a text and object demonstrates that Cicero’s rhetorical importance in the western tradition is not limited to the transmission and adoption of his (more well-known) speeches. Joint consideration of the philosophical content and ancient historical setting of the text and its later receptive contexts bridges the persistent divide that has separated classical and early modern scholarship. Finally, studying the receptions of Cicero’s de Oratore from antiquity through its rediscovery and distribution during the Renaissance, furthers scholarly understanding of western conceptualizations of education.

Two of you, however, deserve all the recognition and gratitude I might be able to give. First, since she was there at the beginning, I dedicate this project to my Mama, Marie Davis. Thank you for listening to that very first essay I wrote on the de Oratore as an undergrad at LaGrange College. Your encouragement never wavered, and I feel certain that there will soon be a printed copy of this to sit beside your copy of the MA thesis. And to my partner and best friend, I could not have done this without you. Thank you, Daniel, for your unrelenting love and support. I am beyond grateful for all the opportunities that you made possible, from living and working abroad that I may complete research, to cooking all those dinners so that our daughter had something delicious to eat. Without the two of you, this never would have been written. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study could not have been completed without the research grants generously awarded by several institutions. I would like to thank the Columbia University Libraries, the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, the Huntington Library, Ca’Foscari and the Erasmus + Scholarship, and the Provost’s Dissertation Fellowship at Georgia State University. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to those who have mentored and directed all the research and writing for this project. To Lela Urquhart, thanks for believing in the project from the beginning and helping to frame it. To Jared Poley, thanks for helping to arrange research opportunities and for your work in the project’s defense. To Shane Butler and Jake Selwood, thanks for the time you spent reading and critiquing the dissertation and considering its merits (and weaknesses) for future scholarship. And finally, to Nick Wilding, thanks for the many, many meetings where you discussed my ideas and theories and helped to make sense of them. Thank you for reading through numerous drafts and offering commentary on how to improve them. Thank you for being a friend throughout the entire process. I could not have done this without you. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .........................................................................................

(ii) In his discussion of Agamemnon's speech in Iliad 3.456-60 Eustathius follows the discussion in Plutarch Quaestiones convivales 9.13, rather than that in the scholia. It is shown that this is justified on technical grounds. The interpretation in the scholia does not fit Agamemnon's speech, and must have originated in a discussion of the attested Homeric 'problem' concerning claims that the Trojans had broken their oath. I The sporadic references to st£sij-theory in the scholia to the Iliad employ an unusual terminology.1 The following terms are found: (A1) parormhtik» (9.228; 23.594); (A2) katastocastik» (18.497-8); (A3) ¢lloiwtik» (1.118; 8.424; 9.228, 312-3), of which tÕ ØpallaktikÒn is a part (9.228); (A4) dikaiologik» (23.594);2 (A5) ·htÕn kaˆ di£noia (3.457).

The larger dissertation project focuses on the concept of humanitas in the broader Roman context – traced through Cicero, Seneca the Younger, Tacitus, and Augustine - as a means to confront and challenge the modern understanding of “Humanity.” I greatly appreciate any and all feedback people are willing to share. Oh, my, get out of the way, please!

    Performance and Rhetoric in Cicero's Philippics * in Recent Years, the Idea Of

    Performance and Rhetoric in Cicero's Philippics * In recent years, the idea of 'performance' has become a more and more important concept for the analysis of literary texts, even if the notion of 'performance' in literary criticism still does not denote a single agreed theory, but is a collective term referring to a number of different aspects and methods. The performance approach seems obvious for some literary genres, like drama and also oratory, for which performance is an essential char­ acteristic. In the case of orations, in antiquity already a detailed doctrine of the perfect performance was established, both in theory and practice. Building on this knowledge and trying to recover the quintessential context of a speech, people have successfully attempted to explore a Roman orator's potential and to contexrualize Roman orations by reconstructing the delivery of sample speeches.' However, there are further levels of performance to be looked at in a Roman speech if the term 'performance' is understood in a more specific way: there is not only the actio that determines the performance of a complete speech; the texts of transmitted speeches also exhibit passages where the wording shows that the orator bases his argument on the performance situation, particularly by making use of the active participation of the audience. Reactions from the audience are deliberately elicited by the orator, for instance by taking on certain roles; these techniques stem from his rhetorical training (for example, ethopoiia); however, considering and commenting on these reactions subsequently yield a performative dialogue with the audience, mirrored in the text. That opens up the opportunity to reconstruct a performance situation which goes beyond identifying how rhetorical techniques have been realized by the orator.
  • Ennius Or Cicero? the Disreputable Diviners at Cic

    Ennius Or Cicero? the Disreputable Diviners at Cic

    ACTA CLASSICAXLIV(200/) 153-166 ISSN 0065-1141 ENNIUS OR CICERO? THE DISREPUTABLE DIVINERS AT CIC. DE DIV. 1.132 A.T. Nice University of the Witwatersrand ABSTRACT At the end of the first book of Cicero's De Divir1atior1e, Quintus remarks that, even though he believes in divination, there are some diviners whom he would not trust to give accurate predictions. These comments are followed by a quotation from Ennius' Telamo. Most modem scholars have assumed, therefore, that the previous lines also contain an echo, if not a paraphrase of Ennius' work. This supposition does not seem to be supported by the language or style employed by Cicero. The lines should rather be understood as embodying the parochial view that elite Romans had towards forms of divination that were foreign, rustic or mercenary and not practised by the Roman state. I At the end of the first book of De Divinatione ( 1.132), Quintus completes his argument in favour of divination by denying the respectability of certain kinds ofdiviners: Nunc illa testabor, non me sortilegos neque eos, qui quaestus causa hariolentur, ne psychomantia quidem, quibus Appius, amicus tuus, uti solebat, agnoscere; non habeo denique nauci Marsum augurem, non vicanos haruspices, non de circo astrologos, non Isiacos coniectores, non interpretes somniorum; non enim sunt ii aut scientia aut arte divini. 1 The lines that follow, '(sed)2 superstitiosi vates inpudentes harioli ... de his di vitiis sibi deducant drachmam, reddant cetera,' are normally attributed to Ennius. Some previous commentators considered that the Ennius quotation should begin earlier, specifically from 'non habeo denique nauci.' 3 In favour 1 I use here the Teubner edition of R.

    The English Renaissance in Context: Looking at Older Books

    The English Renaissance in Context: Looking at Older Books The History of the Book Books from the 16th and 17th centuries are both quite similar to and different from books today. The similarities include such things as use of the Codex format, general page layouts, use of title pages, etc. The codex book has been around for a long time. Its roots go back to the age of Cicero, though it only comes into more general use with the spread of Christianity throughout the later Roman Empire in the 4th and 5th centuries CE. Since then, the codex book has undergone a long and gradual evolution during which time the book, its properties, and characteristics became firmly embedded in Western consciousness. Roughly speaking, the general layout of the page that we use today came into existence in the 13th century, with the rise of the universities and the creation of books for study. It is possible, for example, to look at a page in a medieval manuscript and experience a general orientation to it, even if you cannot actually read the text. The evolution of the book, we emphasize, was slow. Such conventions as pagination, title pages, foot or endnotes, tables of contents, indices, et alia are by and large relatively recent additions. We take these features for granted; but prior to the age of Gutenberg, they are hard to find. University of Pennsylvania Libraries - 1 - Furness Shakespeare Collection The English Renaissance in Context: Looking at Older Books Renaissance books can certainly look very different from books today. They exhibit a variety and diversity that have long since been standardized and homogenized.

In order to choose the appropriate typeface, the user should be well-acquainted with visual or geometric features of typography, typographic rules and the historical development of typography. Additionally, every user is further assisted by a good quality and simple typeface classification. There are many different classifications of typefaces based on historical or visual criteria, as well as their combination. During the last thirty years, computers and digital technology have enabled brand new creative freedoms. As a result, there are thousands of fonts and dozens of applications for digitally creating typefaces. This paper suggests an innovative, simpler classification, which should correspond to the contemporary development of typography, the production of a vast number of new typefaces and the needs of today's users.
