DESCRIPTION
DE ARTE RHETORICA LIBRI TRES
WITH TABULAE RHETORICAE CYPRIANI SOARII
By Cyprianus Soarius [Cipriano Soarez], S.J.
A small-format 1686 Turin edition of Cipriano Soarez's influential Jesuit textbook De Arte Rhetorica Libri Tres, bound with the accompanying Tabulae Rhetoricae, a condensed tabular presentation of the rhetorical system.
Soarez states in the title that his three books are drawn principally from Aristotle, Cicero and Quintilian. The work reorganises classical rhetorical teaching for practical instruction, covering the nature and purpose of rhetoric, invention and argument, arrangement, style, memory and delivery. It became a widely circulated textbook within Jesuit education and remained in use through numerous editions long after its first appearance in the sixteenth century. Silva Rhetoricae
The accompanying Tabulae Rhetoricae reduce the larger system to a compact series of tables and schemata intended for consultation, revision and memorisation. Bibliographical records identify Ludovico Carbone as responsible for arranging Soarez's rhetoric in this tabular form; editions pairing Soarez's De Arte Rhetorica with Carbone's Tabulae are recorded from the late sixteenth century onwards. Biblioteca Digitale Trentina
The physical form of the present copy is well suited to such use: a compact volume in contemporary limp vellum, with manuscript notes to the endpapers and evident signs of handling and study. It survives as a practical example of the type of rhetorical handbook used in the teaching of Latin eloquence rather than as a purely theoretical treatise.

SYNOPSIS
Soarez's De Arte Rhetorica presents classical rhetoric as a teachable system. Drawing principally on Aristotle, Cicero and Quintilian, it explains how an orator identifies arguments, organises material, chooses appropriate language and figures, commits a speech to memory and delivers it effectively. Silva Rhetoricae
The Tabulae Rhetoricae provide a condensed counterpart to the main text, arranging its principles schematically for rapid reference and memorisation. Together, the two works illustrate the practical character of Jesuit rhetorical education: classical theory reorganised into a form suitable for repeated classroom study.
AUTHOR BIO
Cipriano Soarez (1524–1593), commonly Latinised as Cyprianus Soarius, was a Jesuit teacher best known for De Arte Rhetorica Libri Tres. His textbook drew extensively upon the classical rhetorical tradition, particularly Aristotle, Cicero and Quintilian, and became one of the most widely disseminated rhetorical manuals associated with Jesuit education. Modern scholarship has traced its continuing publication and use from the sixteenth into the nineteenth century.
