| Summary | "The Art or Crafte of Rhetoryke" by Leonard Cox is a seminal instructional text on rhetoric written in the early 16th century. This work is recognized as the first comprehensive guide to rhetoric in the English language and serves as a foundational text for anyone interested in mastering the art of persuasive communication. In it, Cox outlines the important principles and techniques necessary for effective oratory, with a focus on education for advocates, diplomats, and preachers. The opening of this text introduces the author's motivation for creating a work dedicated to rhetoric, stemming from a desire to benefit young students in their educational pursuits. Cox expresses his gratitude to his patron, Lord Hugh Faryngton, and discusses the significance of rhetoric in a variety of professional contexts. He emphasizes the necessity of mastering rhetoric to avoid confusion and ineffectiveness in communication, laying the groundwork for subsequent discussions on the four key components of rhetoric: invention, judgment, disposition, and eloquence. Through clear structure and relevant examples, the opening section sets the tone for a detailed exploration of rhetorical strategies beneficial for aspiring speakers.
