An edition of "Declamationes pseudo-Quintilianeae (Maiores)". "Declamationes is no longer attributed to Quintilian. The second work "Dialogus de oratoribus ..." is now generally accepted as a work of Tacitus, but was here confused with Quintilian's lost work on a similar topic entitled: "De causis corruptae eloquentiae".

"Dialogus de oratoribus et caussis [sic] corruptae eloquentiae" has divisional title on p. [209]; pagination and register are continuous.

Local Notes:

Culture Class Collection copy has 17thc. ms. bibliographic notes in French written on both sides of leaf pi1 relating to the authenticity of Antoine Varillas's doubtful account of Poggio Bracciolini's discovery of the only known manuscript of Quintilian's Institutio Oratoria.

Culture Class Collection copy has armorial bookplate with Boyle family arms and motto: "Honor virtutis praemium"; the coronet indicates the rank of a British Earl.
