Synopsis
Contributing Authors

In eighteen studies by renowned scholars, this volume addresses Quintilian’s Institutio oratoria from various disciplinary perspectives. Based on Quintilian’s claim that the orator must possess comprehensive erudition, it examines the relationship between rhetoric and other fields of knowledge. The contributions cover the rhetorical theory from disposition and argumentation to stylistics and delivery of speech, and are divided into six sections: architecture; law and philosophy; fine arts and literary criticism; mathematics, music and cookery; seafaring and agriculture; sport, medicine and drama. The volume thus contributes to a better understanding of rhetorical concepts, the notion of discipline in Graeco-Roman antiquity, and knowledge in imperial Rome. At the same time, it offers fresh insights into the impact and relevance of Quintilian’s Institutio oratoria .

Der Band versammelt 18 Beitrage renommierter Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler, die Quintilians Institutio oratoria aus unterschiedlichen disziplinaren Perspektiven in den Blick nehmen. Ausgehend von Quintilians Forderung nach umfassender Bildung fur den Redner wird untersucht, wie er das Verhaltnis der Rhetorik zu anderen Fachern bestimmt. Die Beitrage beschaftigen sich mit der rhetorischen Theorie von der Redeanlage uber die Argumentationslehre und Stilistik bis hin zum Auftritt und sind in sechs disziplinare Abschnitte gegliedert: “Bauformen und Architektur der Rede”, “Recht und Philosophie”, “Bildende Kunst und Literaturkritik”, “Mathematik, Musik und Kulinarik”, “Seefahrt und Landwirtschaft” sowie “Sport, Medizin und Schauspiel”. Damit leistet der Band einen Beitrag zum Verstandnis rhetorischer Konzepte, zum Disziplinbegriff der griechisch-romischen Antike und zum Wissensdiskurs der Kaiserzeit. In der Gesamtschau wird zugleich die enorme Wirkungsgeschichte und Aktualitat von Quintilians Institutio oratoria plausibel.
