From the library of Raffaella Cribiore [1948-2023], professor of Classics at New York University. She specialized in papyrology, ancient education, ancient Greek rhetoric and the Second Sophistic. This is publication 11 of the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies. Rhetoric might succinctly be defined as the art of persuasion, performance, or praise. This volume explores the ways in which rhetoric functioned in Byzantine society - as a tool for the effective communication of ideas and ideologies, but at times also a barrier that inhibited the expression of real feelings and everyday realities, and imposed a burden of decoding on outsiders. After an introduction on the practical and textual background to Byzantine rhetoric, the essays are grouped in five sections. The first two deal with the basis of rhetoric in Byzantium and its public uses, principally in imperial and ecclesiastical ceremonial. The next sections look at how rhetoric affects the definition of literature in a Byzantine context and the aesthetic to be used in approaching Byzantine literature, with reference to current critical approaches, and specifically at the role of rhetoric in the writing of history - does it only obscure the facts, or does the rhetorical process itself provide information at other levels? The final essays examine the interaction of the written word and pictorial representation and the question of whether real connections between rhetorical training and artistic production can be demonstrated.

About the Editor: Elizabeth Jeffreys is Bywater and Sotheby Professor of Byzantine and Modern Greek Language and Literature and Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford University, UK Reviews: 'It remains to be said that there are enough first-rate essays in this book, some on rhetoric in general and some applying its laws to specific works of literature and art, to make it a valuable addition to this inadequately represented area of scholarship. It suggests that it was a very stimulating symposium.' Parergon Size: Ottavo.
