Every speaker has to ask themselves: What is my speech about? What do I want to achieve? How should I structure my argument? Quintilian provides instructions to answer these questions in the seventh book of his Institutio oratoria (late first century CE), for which there has not been any specialist commentary so far. This book fills that gap and provides in-depth explanations for difficulties in understanding the seventh book.
