[ SOLD OUT ] QUINTILIANI, M.F., (QUINTILIANUS), Institutionis oratoriae Liber III. Mit einem Kommentar herausgegeben von J. Adamietz. Fink Verlag, München, 1966. 236p. Original cloth. Edges a bbit foxed. First free endpaper a little bit rust stained. 'This edition (...) is for the specialist, who will find that it presents for certain aspects of rhetorical theory an admirable collection of material not readily available elsewhere. The introduction is brief and to the point, and the introductory matter to the separate chapters, especially that to the difficult sixth chapter, often outstandingly good. For learning and accuracy the notes are hard to fault. Precisely because this book of the 'Institutio', as Adamietz points out, is introductory to most of the rest of the work, much ground is covered.' (A.E. DOUGLAS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1968, p.63). (Antiquarian) (approx. delivery time: undeliverable)
