Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gymnasium Sive Symbola Critica, Vol. 2 of 2: Intended to Assist the Classical Student in His Endeavours to Attain a Correct Latin Prose Style Sal, agreeably to its primitive import, and according to Quintilian, denotes "whatever seasons discourse, or gives zest to sentiment;" and this celebrated critic censures that usage, by which the term Salsum was confined to "that which excites laughter." "Salsum" says he, "in consuetudine pro ridiculo tantum accipimus; natura non utique hoc est (quanquam et ridicula oporteat esse salsa) nam et Cicero omne, quod salsum sit, ait esse Atticorum, non quia sunt maxime ad risum compositi; et Catullus cum dicit, Nulla in tam magno est corpore mica salis, non hoc dicit, nihil in corpore ejus esse ridiculum. Salsum igitur erit, quod non erit insulsum, velut quoddam simplex orationis condimentum, quod sentitur latente judicio, et velut palatum excitat, quod et a tædio defendit orationem." Inst. vi. 3. We have the authority of Quintilian, therefore, for asserting, that sales should not be confined to the To ridiculum, or what excites laughter; though, in his time, it was frequently so used; but that it denotes, whatever by its smartness, vivacity, or sprightliness, gives zest to discourse. Of the three terms in question, it would appear, therefore, that this is the most generic. Cicero, accordingly, in the following passage, makes it comprehend Facetiæ and Dicacitas. "Huic generi orationis aspergentur etiam sales, qui in dicendo mirum quantum valent, quorum duo sunt genera, unum facetiarum, alterum dicacitatis; utetur utroque, sed altero in narrando aliquid venuste, altero in jaciendo mittendoque ridiculo." Cic. de Orat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
