(Pseudo) Cicero, Rhetorica ad Herennium, Cicero, De Inventione, with the commentaries of Pietro Vettori (1499-1585) and Paulo Manuzio (1512-74). Printed at Lyons by Sebastian Gryphius, 1555.

A good example of a small-format classical text of the period. Since the ninth century these two texts, both ascribed to Cicero, had been copied together and were regarded as fundamental for teaching the art of rhetoric, that is, of fine Latin writing; they were often commented.

Cent Rare PA 6304. R7 1555.  Acquired by Robert Dunbabin, first Professor of Classics at this University, 1 March 1918 and presumably given by him to the University Library, along with other books, in 1940, though the usual ex dono is not present.
