Abstract

The German humanist Thomas Blebel published Rhetoricae artis progymnasmata: Ex optimis quibusque autoribus methodice conscripta, exemplisque tam sacris, quam philosophicis illustrata, & ad puerilem institutionem accommodata in Leipzig, 1582. As the title reads, the work was devised as a compendium of rhetorical exercises targeted at and prepared for language learners. This paper presents a description and analysis of Blebel’s manual to demonstrate that, despite the original title, this work does not align with the progymnasmata manuals so popular at the time.
