While the revival of interest in Cicero’s rhetoric is more often associated with the Renaissance than with the Reformation, it would be a mistake to overlook the important role that Luther and other reformers played in securing Cicero’s place in the curricula of schools in modern Europe (and America). Luther’s attitude towards Cicero was complex, and the final chapter of the book discusses negative reactions to Cicero in the Reformation and the centuries that followed.St. Andrews studies in Reformation history.RhetoricReligious aspectsReformationElectronic books.RhetoricReligious aspects.Reformation.284.1092Springer Carl P.
