Flawed, but corrected and with Annotations
VOSSIUS, Gerardus Johannis. Rhetorices contractæ sive partitionum oratoriarum libri V. Ex decreto illustr. ac pot. Holandiæ, & Westfrisiæ D.D. ordinum in usum scholarum eiusdem provinciæ excussi. Oxford, H[enry] H[all], T. Gilbert, 1672.£1200
12mo, pp. [xiv], 417; contemporary panelled calf unlettered, sprinkled edges; two sections sprung, pen trials on endpapers, some staining, edge wear, contemporary ownership inscription on title page of Robert Wynne, inscription of James Morgan at front dated 1718; a pleasing copy.
A late and highly inaccurate reprint of Vossius' Rhetorices (first 1640), containing his definition of the nature of rhetoric based on Aristotle, as 'that which the Greeks call logos, ethos, and pathos', with an emphasis on the art of persuasion as the core principle of rhetorical education. This 1672 Oxford edition was a careless production and shows two errors in the title page alone, 'Holandiæ' and 'excussi'.
A careful contemporary reader, apparently the Robert Wynne whose name is on the title-page, has corrected textual errors throughout, and supplied scholarly notes as well as some lively marginal translations: dianœticæ 'intellectuall', habiti indignè
'being ill us'd', gynæcium 'seraglio', eadem oberremus chorda 'harp upon the same string', si cujus messis adhuc in herba fuerit 'the corn in ye blade; that is, one who gives very hopefull signs of future improvements.
ESTC r33751; Madan, III, 2951.
