Description: [Comment] At inu. 1, 33 Cicero concludes his discussion of «partitio» by claiming that he has introduced philosophical precepts that are relevant to rhetoric, and that this introduction is an original device not found in other handbooks of rhetoric. Comparison with the «rhetorica ad Herennium» (1, 17), the only existing text that is contemporary and thematically similar to «de inventione», supports Cicero's claim.
