Prawdopodobieństwo w retoryce rzymskiej

Journal Title: Res Rhetorica - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

Probability in the Roman rhetoric. This article considers the question of probability in the Roman rhetoric. The modern scholars turn their attention fi rst of all to Greek probability. This essay try to show that also Roman orators were very interested in this persuasive instrument. The examination is based on Latin rhetorical treatises, Rhetorica ad Herennium, Cicero’s De inventione, Quintilian’s Institutio oratoria and on the texts of Rhetores Latini Minores. The article concludes by considering probability in the Roman rhetoric as a very impressive, even more credible than the truth, mean of persuasion.
