"The Declamationes are a collection of 145 rhetorical exercises... The discovery of new manuscript evidence allowed Pierre Pithou (1539- 1596) to publish 9 Declamationes for the first time here. The volume also contains the editio princeps of the fragmentary Declamationes of Calpurnius Flaccus, as well as a new recension of the Dialogus of Tacitus" (Schreiber).
