Cicero's Orator, composed in 46 BC, is the last of his great theoretical works on oratory. In this treatise, the author proposes to judge which is the most excellent kind of eloquence. In the preface (Orat. 1-19), he uses Plato’s theory of forms to explain the method he intends to follow in his argumentation and to defend, in advance, one of his main theses: the need of philosophical knowledge in the formation of the orator eloquens. We present here the translation into Portuguese of this excerpt, which is accompanied by a brief introduction, explicative notes and commentaries.
