Official synopsis Publisher
Edward Meredith Cope (1818-1873) was an English scholar of classics who served as Fellow and Tutor at Trinity College, Cambridge. One of the leading Greek specialists of his time, Cope published An Introduction to Aristotle’s Rhetoric in 1867. Though now considered a ‘standard work’, that Introduction was intended as merely the first part of a full critical edition of the Rhetoric, which was left incomplete on Cope’s death in 1873. Cope’s manuscripts were collected and edited by John Edwin Sandys, and published in this three-volume set in 1877. Cope’s analysis represented an important advance in the modern interpretation of this foundational text on the art of persuasion. Volume 1 contains the Greek text of Book 1 together with a commentary on Aristotle’s introduction to his topic and his definition of rhetoric and its subdivisions.
