It shows how translation (as practice and as theory, via the medieval topos of \u003ci\u003etranslatio\u003c\/i\u003e as the transfer of knowledge) serves as the vehicle for the transfer of rhetoric as an art of argumentation and persuasion from classical Greece and Rome to modern Paris and Brussels by way of medieval France and Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis study explores a significant and quite specific transmission of rhetorical thought. Beginning with the Roman orator Cicero it proceeds to the medieval Italian notary, philosopher, and statesman Brunetto Latini, whose translations of Cicero's \u003ci\u003eDe inventione\u003c\/i\u003e would plant the seeds for the renewal of rhetoric as an art of persuasion and radically change the fate of rhetoric in the twentieth century in the work of the French literary critic Jean Paulhan and the Belgian philosophers Chaim Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn so doing, \u003ci\u003eTranslation and the Rediscovery of Rhetoric\u003c\/i\u003e serves to underscore the importance of medieval culture to contemporary thought by studying not only how knowledge was transmitted from antiquity to modernity by means of translation, but also by revealing how the Middle Ages made an essential and traceable contribution to modern rhetorical studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Bolduc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0888442173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780888442178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PIMS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 1.30d","brand":"Michelle Bolduc","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947453415679,"sku":"9780888442178","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d991bf08-31a5-4eb4-8964-28432bb185df.jpg?v=1681518819","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/translation-and-the-rediscovery-of-michelle-bolduc-9780888442178","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
