Latin Memory and Oration

By June 26, 2014January 25th, 2023No Comments

The ancients do us the great courtesy of providing many wonderful examples of orations with both invention and arrangement already selected and crafted. With these first two canons of rhetoric already in place, the use of such orations allows students to focus on the remaining canons of rhetoric: style, memory, and delivery. This presentation will demonstrate the exercise of such practice and the far reaching benefits afforded to students. Attendees will hear not only from teacher, Karen Moore, but also her students. Orations will be deliverd in both Latin and English. Sources are both secular and sacred.
