The Rhetorical Exercises of Nikephoros Basilakes by Nikephoros Basilakes
Progymnasmata, exercises in the study of declamation, were the cornerstone of elite education from Hellenistic through Byzantine times. The Rhetorical Exercises of Nikephoros Basilakes, translated here into English for the first time, illuminate teaching and literary culture in one of the most important epochs of the Byzantine Empire.
[This translation] brilliantly captures Basilakes’s individual style as well as the intricacies of his rhetorical skills…The volume’s presentation is meticulous-- Sophia Xenophontos * Speculum *
