By Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (Quintilian)
Author Bio: Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (c. 35 – c. 100 AD) was a Roman educator and rhetorician born in Hispania, widely referred to in medieval schools of rhetoric and in Renaissance writing. In English translation, he is usually referred to as Quintilian, although the alternate spellings of Quintillian and Quinctilian are occasionally seen, the latter in older texts.
Gallandus, Royal Professor of Latin at the Collège Royal. His text and prefatory arguments were new, and later editions (e.g. Paris 1556, Antwerp 1566) often reprint his version.
Provenance: Early English ownership inscription: Randolph Greenway Junr., of Thavies Inn, Holborn, “Bot 15 Martii 1725”; with contemporary note “Compleat.”
Synopsis: This 1549 edition marks a major milestone in the humanist revival of Quintilian. Edited by Petrus Gallandus (Pierre Galland, 1495–1559), Royal Professor of Latin at the Collège Royal in Paris, it was the first to present a critically revised text based on comparison of early manuscripts in the royal and Sorbonne collections. Gallandus brought a new philological rigour to Quintilian’s Institutio Oratoria, correcting hundreds of inherited errors from the Aldine and Estienne texts, and prefacing each book with detailed argumenta — concise analytical summaries of content and rhetorical structure. For sixteenth-century students of rhetoric, this Paris folio represented the most authoritative and comprehensive version of Quintilian then available — uniting textual criticism, pedagogy, and typographical excellence at the high point of French humanism.
