Scarce edition. Among the most influential Greek rhetoricians of his time, Isocrates (436-338 BC) made many contributions to rhetoric. The work contains a.o. a collection of the orations directed to the rulers of Salamis on Cyprus, in which he advises rulers on how to rule best. Isocrates had a great influence on Cicero. Les discours d'Isocrate sont présentés dans la version établie par Hieronymus Wolf et revue par Estienne, qui y ajoute une série de « Diatribae ». Cette édition constitue le dernier grand ouvrage réalisé par Estienne.
