Rhetorica ad Herennium

In court, in politics, in discussion panels: the right argumentation is not everything. The presentation, demeanor, voice, and the small pause at the right moment are crucial. It is no coincidence that rhetoric was considered an art in ancient times that one studied. It is fortunate that this Latin rhetoric textbook has been preserved. The unknown author – once believed to be Cicero – teaches a certain Gaius Herennius the art of oratory, in a systematic manner and with numerous concrete examples. A timeless text that has been prepared in this modern translation with subheadings, making the textbook still usable today.
