Quintilian on Rhetoric How Does Quintilian's Definition Compare to other Ancients We've Studied? Plato: Defines rhetoric as a philosophy rather than an art, an unncessary tool. He's much more concerned with truth than Quintilian. Aristotle: Believes that rhetoric is "finding the available means of persuasion." Quintilian takes issue with this, because he feels that Artistole isn't accounting for the fact that anyone, even "harlots, flatterers, and seducers," can persuade. Isocrates: Quintilian suggests that many feel that oratory is the "power of persuading," and this idea has its origins in the works of Isocrates. Quintilian, on the other hand, points out that there are other methods of persuasion, such as money. He also sees the symbolic importance of such things as "looks" and images (as he discusses in Book XI Quintilian's definition: To Quintilian, rhetoric is "the good man speaking well." (He seems to use the terms "rhetoric" and "oratory" interchangeably, placing much more stress in Book II on the latter term.) He divides it into 3 components: the art, the artist (artificer), and the work. Quintilian explains that: Art=The knowledge of speaking well.

While there, he cultivated a relationship with Domitius Afer , who died in . “It had always been the custom…for young men with ambitions in public life to fix upon some older model of their ambition…and regard him as a mentor” (Kennedy, 16). Quintilian evidently adopted Afer as his model and listened to him speak and plead cases in the law courts. Afer has been characterized as a more austere, classical, Ciceronian speaker than those common at the time of Seneca , and he may have inspired Quintilian’s love of Cicero Sometime after Afer’s death, Quintilian returned to Spain, possibly to practice law in the courts of his own province.

Quintilian From LoveToKnow 1911 QUINTILIAN [MARCUS FABIUS QUINTILIANUS] (c. A.D. 35 95), Roman rhetorician, was born at Calagurris in Spain . Concerning his family and his life but few facts remain. His father taught rhetoric , with no great success, at Rome , and Quintilian must have come there at an early age to reside, and must have there grown up to manhood. The years from 61 to 68 he spent in Spain, probably attached in some capacity to the retinue of the future emperor Galba , with whom he returned to the capital. For at least twenty years after the accession of Galba he was at the head of the foremost school of oratory Isocrates of his time. He also gained some, but not a great, repute as a pleader in the courts. His greatest speech appears to have been a defence of the queen Berenice , on what charge is not known. He appears to have been wealthy for a professional man. Vespasian created for him a professorial chair of rhetoric, liberally endowed with public money, and from this time he was unquestionably, as Martial calls him, "the supreme controller of the restless youth." About the year 88 Quintilian retired from teaching and from pleading , to compose his great work on the training of the orator ( Institutio Oratoria).

Back to Ancient History Sourcebook Ancient History Sourcebook: Quintilian: The Ideal Education, c. 90 CE [Thatcher Introduction]: The Institutes. Book I, 1: LET A FATHER, then, as soon as his son is born, conceive, first of all, the best possible hopes of him; for he will thus grow the more solicitous about his improvement from the very beginning; since it is a complaint without foundation that "to very few people is granted the faculty of comprehending what is imparted to them, and that most, through dullness of understanding, lose their labor and their time." For, on the contrary, you will find the greater number of men both ready in conceiving and quick in learning; since such quickness is natural to man; and as birds are born to fly, horses to run, and wild beasts to show fierceness, so to us peculiarly belong activity and sagacity of understanding; whence the origin of the mind is thought to be from heaven. But dull and unteachable persons are no more produced in the course of nature than are persons marked by monstrosity and deformities; such are certainly but few. It will be a proof of this assertion, that, among boys, good promise is shown in the far greater number; and, if it passes off in the progress of time, it is manifest that it was not natural ability, but care, that was wanting. But one surpasses another, you will say, in ability. I grant that this is true; but only so far as to accomplish more or less; whereas there is no one who has not gained something by study. Let him who is convinced of this truth, bestow, as soon as he becomes a parent, the most vigilant possible care on cherishing the hopes of a future orator.

Quintilian The Greek schools, especially that of Isocrates, greatly influenced the Romans. Rhetoric came to Rome in a BIG wayespecially educationally. Additional biographical information about Quintilian, from Theral Mackey of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Q. was the most famous Roman rhetorical theorist after Cicero. His primary work: Institutio Oratoria (Education of an Orator Twelve books (we have them all) treating the five canons in detail. Also a thorough treatment of the educational process. Popularized Cato's maxim noting that the ideal of education is "The Good Man Speaking Well." Primary elements of the educational treatise: Holder of the first endowed chair of rhetoric in Rome. The difficulty of Q's relationship to the Emperor Domitian Domitian was one of the most corrupt of the late Republic period. He named Q. chief educator of the land, an honor which seemed to tame Q. and give him political reason to remove himself from real criticism of the corrupt state. So on one hand we have his call for the good man speaking well, while on the other we have the reality of his working, docile and perhaps as a sycophant, for an evil and corrupt ruler. Many critics trouble over the contradiction. However, his text coming at the end of the Greco-Roman period and summarizing the best standards of Rhetorical education has garnered great praise. Fragments were used by Jerome and Augustine to specify ideals for the Christian educational period; when the complete text was rediscovered in Renaissance Italy, it was used as a model for education thereafter for hundreds of years.

Quintilian Institutio Oratoria (95 C.E.) Rhetoric Timeline Primary Source Synopses Quintilian was the celebrated orator and rhetorician from the first century who brought forward rhetorical theory from ancient Greece and from the heyday of Roman rhetoric in the prior century. This theory he compiled in his Institutio Oratoria , an exhaustive and pedagogically oriented treatement of rhetoric in twelve books. Many later rhetoricians, especially from the Renaissance, derived their rhetorical theory directly from this text. Compact and detailed outlines follow below.

Quintilian His present work is a twelve-volume behemoth not the kind of text with which one student of rhetoric can without problems settle down. This work presents a brief introduction to Quintilian, historicizes his point as an educational theorist, and presents proposition for further reading. Quintilian identifies rhetoric as “the science of speaking well," and he uses the expression "rhetoric" interchangeably with "oratory." He describes funniness, conversely, as an aptitude using assured commanding forces of its own. Those forces are mainly reliant on the listeners, how the listeners obtain and respond to comedy. Yet, humor has a universal propensity to disperse the graver emotions of the judge by exhilarating his laughter. Quintilian, though, illustrates the line as to how far absurdity can be used (Warmington, 1989). His vocation brings home to us the huge transform, which in a few age groups had passed over Roman taste, sentiment as well as the social order. In the days of Cicero rhetorical education had been completely in the hands of the Greeks. The Greek language, too, was in the major of the vehicle of teaching in rhetoric. The foremost endeavor to open a Latin rhetorical school, in 94 BC, was compressed by authority and not until the time of Augustus was there any lecturer of the art who had been born to the full constitutional rights of a Roman citizen. The meeting of Quintilian as professor by the chief of the state marks the preceding stage in the liberation of rhetorical education from the old Roman chauvinisms.
