This is a critical edition of Nikola Vitov Gučetic's (1549-1610)
Commentary on the First Book of Aristotle's 'Rhetoric', with an introductory study and supplementary materials. The purpose of the edition is to provide a clear Latin text for scholars and students of the humanities, especially researchers in Renaissance rhetoric and philosophy. The book will be of particular interest to scholars of the history and culture of Dubrovnik.
Gučetic's
Commentary gives a precious glimpse into the transformative character of Aristotle's
Rhetoric in the Renaissance, demonstrating the profound influence this ancient text had not only on leading Humanist scholars and renowned Renaissance philosophers, but also on lesser-known thinkers who depended on the art of persuasion in their political and judicial careers.
