The general history of rhetoric is gradually being written. There is a verifiably ancient and medieval history of ars rhetorica; the names of Aristotle, Cicero, and Quintilian are well enough known to any student of the Renaissance, and recent studies have begun to make familiar such post-classical personages as Geoffrey of Vinsauf, Ranulph Higden, and Guido Faba. Nevertheless, the scope of Renaissance rhetoric is barely appreciated. It is a field of human activity that stretched over centuries of time, over scores of national boundaries, and over half a score of languages. It is now clear that books of rhetoric were written in Latin, in Italian, in French, in Spanish, in Greek, in English, in German, in Polish, in Bohemian, in Dutch, in Danish, in Swedish, in Welsh — in virtually every Western language of early modern times.
