书籍简介

罗马的中等教育主要是为了培养未来的律师和政治家。在共和国后期和帝国时期，主要的工具是从希腊引进的：演讲，即就想象中的主题进行实践演讲。这类演讲有两种类型：关于法庭主题的争论，关于审议主题的演讲（suasoriae）。关于这两种类型，我们的知识的主要来源是来自科尔多瓦的西班牙人卢修斯-安娜乌斯-塞涅卡的作品，他是这位杰出哲学家的父亲。在他漫长的生命末期（公元前55年-公元前40年），他收集了十本专门讨论争论的书（有些只保留了节选）和至少一本（幸存的）suasoriae。这些书包含了他对当时的修辞学教师和实践者的回忆：他们的论证思路，他们的方法，他们的特质，以及重要的他们的书信。从宣讲者那里摘录的内容虽然很零散，但对帝国大多数异教（和许多教徒）作家的风格产生了宝贵的影响。塞涅卡自己的贡献、生动的序言、关于演讲者、作家和政治家的有趣的轶事以及对演说过度的明快批评，都提供了统一性。

Roman secondary education aimed principally at training future lawyers and politicians. Under the late Republic and the Empire, the main instrument was an import from Greece: declamation, the making of practice speeches on imaginary subjects. There were two types of such speeches: controversiae on law-court themes, suasoriae on deliberative topics. On both types a prime source of our knowledge is the work of Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Spaniard from Cordoba, father of the distinguished philosopher. Towards the end of his long life (?55 BCE ?40 CE) he collected together ten books devoted to controversiae (some only preserved in excerpt) and at least one (surviving) of suasoriae. These books contained his memories of the famous rhetorical teachers and practitioners of his day: their lines of argument, their methods of approach, their idiosyncrasies, and above all their epigrams. The extracts from the declaimers, though scrappy, throw invaluable light on the influences that coloured the styles of most pagan (and many Christian) writers of the Empire. Unity is provided by Seneca's own contribution, the lively prefaces, engaging anecdote about speakers, writers and politicians, and brisk criticism of declamatory excess.
