Abstract

La rhétorique antique rebute parfois par sa technicité, qui nous fait oublier que les Anciens non seulement étudiaient et théorisaient la parole, mais aussi utilisaient la discipline pour créer des liens sociaux, des connivences culturelles et pour penser leur monde. Les deux manuels traduits ici datent probablement du IVe siècle de notre ère ; ils sont une porte d'entrée vers un moment particulier de l'évolution de la rhétorique : la grande éloquence républicaine s'est éteinte depuis longtemps, les cours de justice ne donnent plus l'occasion de faire montre de sa faconde, mais les outils intellectuels donnés par la rhétorique servent encore à conceptualiser la lecture, l'exégèse, la conversation, le genre épistolaire. L'Art rhétorique de Julius Victor et Sur la rhétorique de Pseudo-Augustin nous permettent une incursion dans ce monde de paroles, fascinant et énigmatique. [4e de couv.]

Abstract

Progymnasmata, preliminary exercises in the study of declamation, were the cornerstone of elite education from Hellenistic through Byzantine times. Using material from Greek literary, mythological, and historical traditions, students and writers composed examples ranging from simple fables to complex arguments about fictional laws. In the Byzantine period, the spectrum of source material expanded to include the Bible and Christian hagiography and theology.This collection was written by Nikephoros Basilakes, imperial notary and teacher at the prestigious Patriarchal School in Constantinople during the twelfth century. In his texts, Basilakes made significant use of biblical themes, especially in character studies—known as ethopoeiae—featuring King David, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Peter. The Greek exercises presented here, translated into English for the first time, shed light on education under the Komnenian emperors and illuminate literary culture during one of the most important epochs in the long history of the Byzantine Empire.

Abstract

Les traités de rhétorique appartiennent à la littérature technique, textes dont on interroge en général le seul contenu. Or, s'ils ont pour objet les ressources du langage, ils obéissent eux-mêmes à des stratégies singulières de composition et d'expression. Ce volume explore la question de l'écriture du traité ou du manuel de rhétorique dans l'Antiquité, dans toute sa diversité formelle, et interroge l'art que le rhéteur ou le critique met lui-même en oeuvre pour rendre compte des textes qu'il commente ou des techniques qu'il enseigne.Dans une perspective diachronique - de la Rhétorique à Alexandre à Martianus Capella, avec une ouverture sur la poétique néo-latine - on s'y intéresse aux choix de genre, de la liste au dialogue, aux traits de style du théoricien, des figures étudiées aux figures employées pour les décrire, aux métaphores du commentaire, aux jeux de contamination du discours critique par la littérature citée, à la composition qui se révèle lorsque l'inventaire est considéré comme une oeuvre.

Abstract

Speeches of praise and blame constituted a form of oratory put to brilliant and creative use in the classical Greek period (fifth to fourth century BC) and the Roman imperial period (first to fourth century AD), and they have influenced public speakers through all the succeeding ages. Yet unlike the other classical genres of rhetoric, epideictic rhetoric remains something of a mystery. It was the least important genre at the start of Greek oratory, but its role grew exponentially in subsequent periods, even though epideictic orations were not meant to elicit any action on the part of the listener, as judicial and deliberative speeches attempted to do. So why did the ancients value the oratory of praise so highly ? In Epideictic Rhetoric, Laurent Pernot offers an authoritative overview of the genre that surveys its history in ancient Greece and Rome, its technical aspects, and its social function. He begins by defining epideictic rhetoric and tracing its evolution from its first realizations in classical Greece to its eloquent triumph in the Greco-Roman world. No longer were speeches limited to tribunals, assemblies, and courts—they now involved ceremonies as well, which changed the political and social implications of public speaking. Pernot analyzes the techniques of praise, both as stipulated by theoreticians and as practiced by orators. He describes how epideictic rhetoric functioned to give shape to the representations and common beliefs of a group, render explicit and justify accepted values, and offer lessons on new values. Finally, Pernot incorporates current research about rhetoric into the analysis of praise.

Abstract

"A critical edition, with English translation and notes, of chapters 27–60 of the Semeioseis gnomikai (“Sententious notes”), a collection of 120 essays by the Byzantine statesman and scholar Theodore Metochites (1270–1332). The edition is based on three manuscripts, which are briefly presented in the introduction. P (Par. gr. 2003, Paris) and M (Marc. gr. 532, Venice) were both written in the early fourteenth century; E (Scor. gr. 248, Escorial) is a sixteenth-century copy of M.After the edition, with accompanying English translation and notes, the book is concluded with a bibliography and three indexes: of quoted passages, Greek words, and Greek names.Several of the essays in this volume contain laments on the reduced state of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium), and on the vicissitudes of human life and fortune. A group of short essays describe the pleasure of beholding Creation and one of the longest discusses the pros and cons of having been born, i.e. of life."
