Book 2 — Book II. Figures
Reading edition
The second book, on stylistic ornament (ornatus, dignitas) is devoted to the traditional figures. These are the same list from the Rhetorica ad Herennium as serves for the poetriæ, and are rehearsed in the same order.
The author even excuses himself for not providing new examples. The book closes with three lists of vices in sense or sound: (1) achirologia, etc., as in Alexandre de Villedieu; (2) repetitio, etc., as in ad Herennium; (3) six derived from Ars poetica.
