Abstract

The aspects of style termed ??????, ?????, ???????, ???????, ????, ???????, ?????????, ??????, found in Hermogenes? De Ideis, begin to appear as a self-standing sequence in post-twelfth century rhetorical handbooks. The sequence becomes the object of contemporary theoretical developments, responsive to late Byzantine literary and rhetorical practice. The eight elements are extrapolated and summarized in a single chapter in the treatise On the Eight Parts of the Rhetorical Discourse, contained in vol. 3 of Walz?s Rhetores Graeci, but are also present as an unfolded, multi-chapter sequence in two fourteenth-century compilations: the anonymous Rhetorica Marciana and the Synopsis Artis Rhetoricae by Joseph Rhacendyta. This is a new and separate curriculum development, which was used to complement instruction in the Hermogenean corpus.
