The Institutio de Oratoria is
Quintilian's only surviving work. It is a collection of twelve books written on
the education of rhetoricians from childhood to death. The work has a rich
history both of its influence on others, and others' influence on it. After it
was published by Quintilian, it circulated sparingly, with little interest. Its
influence finally disappeared around 800 A.D. It then reappears in the twelfth
century, and becomes a strong influence in the middle ages before disappearing
again in the mid 1100's. Its influence on the education of this period was so
strong, that it has been associated to the end of the medieval period. During
this time the work was in several incomplete versions, resulting from changes
made by many people over the span of centuries. The resulting versions
discouraged people from reading the work, and gave Quintilian a marred
reputation. During the Medieval period, the forms of Quintilian's work that were
available were the textus mutilatus (the text with big gaps), excerpts in
florigalia (choice excerpts), Pseudo-Quintilian declamations, and rarely a
complete text. In 1416, the complete text was re-discovered by Poggio at the St.
Gall monastery. When he found the text, he quickly copied it, and brought it
home with him. About forty copies of his original copies are still extant. The
work became a strong influence again, and the demand for the work also grew
strong. Between 1470 and 1539 forty-three versions were produced. --authored
