Essays on Medieval Rhetoric
«'Alongside important theoretical discussions on the status of medieval rhetoric, Camargo's book makes major contributions to our knowledge of medieval rhetorical textbooks by discussing their pedagogy and by offering editions of two unpublished treatises.' Scriptorium-Bulletin Codicologique»
Originally published between 1981 and 2003, the thirteen essays collected here cover topics in medieval rhetoric from its origins in late antiquity through the end of the Middle Ages. Most of the essays are concerned with the teaching of prose composition, especially the art of letter writing known as the ars dictaminis, and many of them focus on specific textbooks that were used for such instruction, in particular those composed in England from the twelfth through the fifteenth centuries.
