Institutio Oratoria (On The Education Of An Orator), Volume 1

Institutio Oratoria (On the Education of an Orator), volume 1

by Marcus Fabius Quintilianus

Quintilian's *Institutio Oratoria* is a comprehensive treatise on the art of oratory. It covers a vast range of topics, from the ideal character of an orator to the proper techniques of delivery. While written over 1,900 years ago, the work remains relevant today for its insights into the nature of effective communication and the importance of education. The first volume of this edition covers the first three books, which focus on the foundational principles of rhetoric and the qualities necessary for a successful orator.
