Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Quintilian´s Institutes of Oratory, Vol. 2 of 12: Education of an Orator, in Twelve Books Marcus Fabius Quintilianus was born at Calagurris, now called Calahorra, a town of Spain on the Ebro. The time of his birth is uncertain, but as he was, while still young, a hearer of Domitius Afer at Rome, who died A. D. 59, we may reasonably suppose him to have been born about A. D. 40. What his father was, is unknown. He alludes to him once, in the ninth book, where Spalding suggests that he may have been the pleader mentioned by Seneca the rhetorician in the preface to the fifth book of his Controversies; but for this supposition there is no foundation. The scholiast on Juvenal says that he studied under the grammarian Palæmon. He appears to have returned to Spain, and to have been brought again from thence by the emperor Galba, A. D. 68, to Rome, where he distinguished himself in the two professions of pleader, and teacher of eloquence. Among his pupils was Pliny the younger. His scholars seem to have been numerous, according to Martial, Quintiliane, vagæ moderator summe juventæ, Gloria Romance Quintiliane togoe, the first of which verses, says Gesner, refers to his teaching, and the second to his pleading.
