"M. Fabi Quintiliani Institutionis Oratoriae Liber Decimus" by Quintilianus is a treatise on rhetoric and education written in the late 1st century AD. This work is part of Quintilian's broader treatise, "Institutio Oratoria," which serves both as a manual for oratory training and a critique of educational practices in his time. It emphasizes the importance of moral character alongside rhetorical skills, positing that a good orator must be a good man as well. The opening portion of the text serves as a preface and introduction, outlining the structure and significance of the Tenth Book of Quintilian's work. The author discusses the meticulous scholarship involved in revising the text and highlighting recent contributions from various scholars. The introduction traces Quintilian's life and career, reflecting on his own experiences as a teacher and orator while underscoring the prevailing importance of oratory in Roman society. It sets the stage for a deep exploration of rhetorical principles and ethical considerations, asserting that effective oratory is rooted in a solid moral foundation and thorough education.
