See BackerSommervogel VII, 1331 fu STC Italian Books 630 (ed. Verona 1589). The first textbook for Jesuit rhetoric. The work of the Spanish Jesuit Cipriano Suarez or Soarez (15241593) was widely used at the time. First published in 1565, this introduction to the principles of rhetoric and public speaking was intended for young students in Jesuit colleges. Concerned that young students in Jesuit colleges were not ready for major rhetorical texts such as Aristotle's Rhetoric, Cicero's De Oratore, and Quintilian's Institutio Oratoria, Soarez wrote De Arte Rhetorica as a digest of their work, serving as an introduction for students still learning Latin.
