Quintilianus, Marcus Fabius [Pseudo-]. Declamationes Maiores.
[Treviso: Peregrinus de Pasqualibus, Bononiensis and Dionysius Bertochus, 1482].
Folio, A2-6, B-I6, lacking initial blank A1, 53 of 54 leaves, printed in single column, roman letter throughout, initial spaces with guide-letters, no rubrication; likely removed from a sammelband of other works, now separate in modern limp paper wrappers, 11 x 8 in.
This collection of rhetorical exercises, long attributed to but not written by Quintilian, sets a series of extreme ethic situations, inviting the reader to place themselves in the shoes of others. Philosophical groundwork laid by Pseudo-Quintilian's Major Declamations enabled post-structuralists to posit language's failure to impart the truth of the objects they are meant to represent. Six editions of this text were published before 1501. This is Peregrinus de Pasqualibus's earliest imprint.
