Aldus's important first edition of the complete text of Quintilian's De oratoria, on the teaching of speaking and writing of oratory, edited by humanists Andrea Navagero and G. B. Ramusio, to whom Aldus addresses his preface. Quintilian (ca. 35-ca. 100) was a Roman rhetorician from Hispania, much admired in the Roman era, and particularly in the medieval and Renaissance eras when he served as the template for proper writing of classical Latin in both Christian monasteries and Humanist schools. In many ways, Quintilian's book on oratory is a reaction against the flowery language of his times. As such, this was a surprisingly modern work, arguing for speech and writing that actually says something, instead of the muddy, ornate, and shoddy speeches we all too often hear today. In addition, Quintilian deals not only with the theory and practice of rhetoric, but also with the foundational education and development of the orator himself, and so this book is a window into the life and learning of educated Romans. From the middle of the first century BC to Quintilian's time, there had been a flowering of Roman rhetoric. But by Quintilian's time, the current of popular taste in oratory was rife with what has been called "silver Latin," a style that favored ornate embellishment over clarity and precision. Quintilian's Institutio Oratoria can in many ways be read as a reaction against this trend; it advocates a return to simpler and clearer language. In the 12th century Quintilian appeared in the reading lists of English classical scholars such as Alexander Neckham and John of Salisbury; he was deeply admired by Petrarch, who possessed only an incomplete copy, and influenced Erasmus.
