1678 ENGLISH Quevedo Visions Occult GHOSTS Spanish Fantasy Dreams Demons Hell

"He who spends time regretting the past loses the present and risks the future."
― Francisco de Quevedo

Francisco de Quevedo was one of the most well-known Spanish authors of the early 17th-century. He is most remembered for his satirical 'dream' poetry in which he writes himself into his story. 'Dreams' or 'Visions' is a collection of visions in which Quevedo witnesses the Day of Judgment and sees visions of hell, demons and devils, evil spirits being exorcised, and more experiences of the occult. The satire came in the form of Quevedo seeing various recognizable groups of people in hell including lawyers, astrologers, innkeepers, Protestants, accountants, Jews, physicians, and …women.

1637 RARE Quintilian Institutio Oratoria Rhetoric Oratory Public Speeches ROME

One of the earliest books on teaching public speaking!

Marcus Fabius Quintilianus, or Quintilian, was a 1st-century Roman scholar most remembered for his theoretical textbook, 'Institutio Oratoria'. This work deals with the foundations and development of teaching orations and public speaking. Quintilian's most important point was that speeches provided the message of the speaker being a 'good man' and that there is a direct correlation between the quality of a speech and the quality of a man's character. This book was known to have significant influence on Martial, Seneca, Juvenal, and Saint Augustine, who all credited Quintilian with focusing their orations.

This rare 1637 Geneva edition was collected and edited by Pierre Pithou.
