While the text draws on predecessors such as the \u003ci\u003eRhetorica ad Herennium,\u003c\/i\u003e Horace’s \u003ci\u003eArs poetica,\u003c\/i\u003e and work by Geoffrey of Vinsauf, its style and content reveal the unique experience of its author, John of Garland, a prominent teacher of the language arts at the University of Paris. John was also a well-read poet with broad tastes, and his passion for poetry, as well as for fine prose composition, is on display throughout the \u003ci\u003eParisiana poetria\u003c\/i\u003e. This treatise is the only thoroughgoing attempt to unite three distinct arts—quantitative poetry, rhythmic poetry, and prose composition, especially of letters—under a single set of rules. The sections on low, middle, and high style, illustrated by his “Wheel of Virgil,” have attracted wide attention; and his long account of rhymed poetry is the most complete that has survived. This volume presents the most authoritative edition of the Latin text alongside a fresh English translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eTraugott Lawler is Professor Emeritus of English at Yale University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46554198016161,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780674238152","price":44.65,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780674238152.jpg?v=1781759254","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/parisiana-poetria-hardcover-by-john-of-garland","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
