A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Though the term Ciceronianism could be applied to Cicero sinfluence and teaching in the field of politics, philosophy, or rhetoric, it is limited in the present study to the technical department .of rhetoric and represents the trend of literary opinion in regard to accepting Cicero as a model for imitation in composition. The history of Ciceronianism, thus interpreted, has been written with more or less emphasis upon the controversial aspect of the subject in various languages. Jean Levesque de Burigny wrote a short sketch Sur la querelle qui seleva dans le XVI siicle au sujet de Festime qui itait due AC iceron in 1756; C.

In view of these publications the only justification for the present study may be found in the statement of a somewhat dififerent aim: to furnish to the English reader scwne of the con- troversial matter in direct translation or full analysis, and to con inect the doctrine more particularly with the schools of the Renais sance. The major field of the study will lie after the middle of the fifteenth century and will deal with controversial writings on imitation, though the earlier period of the historical development, previous to 1450, will receive brief notice where it will be the purpose to show how the influence of Cicero manifested itself through various phases until it hardened and narrowed into that pedantry and purism of the sixteenth century which assumed the name of Ciceronianism as a doctrine of style advocated by a cult of servile imitators. The work, consequently, will fall into three divisions: (a) an introductory chapter on the influ
