Auteur: O’Connor, J. F.
Titre: The conflict of rhetoric in the Octavius of Minucius Felix
Revue/Collection: "Classical Folia", XXX
Annèe edition: 1976
Pages: 165-173
Mots-clès: Commentaires - Commenti - Commentaries, Héritage - Fortuna - Legacy, Rhétorique - Retorica - Rhetorics
Description: The Octavius is not so much a dialogue as a contest in which the content of religious truth is inseparable from the manner in which it is expressed. Ciceronian rhetoric is attacked along with the old Roman religious tradition, and the very modernity of Christianity's elocutio novella is used as proof of the faith embodied in it.
