Quintilianus - Marcus Fabius Quintilianus

Roman orator. Appointed by Emperor Galba as public rhetoric teacher, he was ordered by Emperor Domitian to train his successors after his retirement. His main work, the 12 volumes of the Oratory (c. 95), is an introductory book for training orators, and discusses primary education, rhetoric, subjects and arrangement, style, presentation, character and culture, etc. It is unique in that it starts from early childhood education. It also has an overview of grammar, an examination of wit and humor, an examination of the rhythm of language, and the demand for training to cultivate broad culture and high virtue. He is particularly known for Volume 10, a reading guide for students of oratory, which briefly critiques many Greek and Roman writers and their works from a rhetorical point of view. He was highly regarded as a teacher in the Middle Ages, and in the early modern period he was studied by humanists such as Erasmus and had a great influence on them.

Japanese:

古代ローマの弁論学者。ガルバ帝により公の弁論術教師に任命され、引退後、ドミティアヌス帝の命により後継者の教育にあたった。主著『弁論術教程』12巻(95ころ)は、弁論家養成の入門書で、初等教育、修辞学、題材と配列、文体、演述法、性格と教養などを論じる。幼児教育から説き起こす点に、従来の類書にみられない新味がある。また、文法の概観、機知とユーモアの論究、ことばのリズムの考察、広い教養と高い徳性を修める訓練の要求などにも特色がみられる。とくに知られるのは、雄弁術の学徒のための読書案内として、ギリシア、ローマの多数の作家と作品を取り上げ、修辞学的視点から簡潔に批評した第10巻である。彼は中世には教師として高く評価され、近世にはエラスムスをはじめとする人文主義者によって学習され、大きな影響を与えた。
