Abstract
The term ‘monarch’s praise’ originates from medieval studies. It does not designate a dedicated genre, but primarily a function of texts. The underlying theory derives from the theory of the encomium as a genre of speech in ancient rhetoric. Fundamental to the history of this ‘monarch’s praise’ is the genre of panegyric speech as it emerges in the Roman empire. The article presents the basic ancient theories of the topics and rhetoric of epideictic speech and depicts central stages in the history of the monarch’s praise from its beginnings through the 20th century.
