PREFACE
These papers were written by friends and colleagues of Bill Forten-
baugh. On the occasion of his retirement from Rutgers University
in 2001, at the age of65, John Bodel and Corey Brennan, his col-
leagues in the Rutgers Classics Department—where Bill had taught
formorethan35years—conceivedtheplanforaconferenceinhis
honor, which was held September 27–28, 2002.1 They kindly asked
metotakearoleinitsplanning.
What was to be the theme for this conference? Bill’s enormous
skills and energies as a team builder and conference organizer had
already exhausted, for the present, many areas that might have
includedabroadergatheringofpeople.UnderhisleadershipProject
Theophrastus has held biennial conferences for more than twenty-
five years on a vast array of topics related to his interests. However,
one area that suggested itself as being particularly timely for Bill’s
workonhiscommentaryontherhetoricalwritingsofTheophrastus

in the generation before and during Aristotle and Theophrastus’
lifetimes shaped what we receive as Peripatetic rhetoric. In 1991,
Billhadhimselfco-organizedaconferenceontheNachleben ofPeri-
pateticrhetoric.Thisconference,asisthemodelnowinHollywood

collectionwerepresentedindraftformatthatconference.
The choice of rhetoric as a theme for the Rutgers conference,
itstiming,andlocationunfortunatelyexcludedseveralofBill’smany
friends. However, a parallel conference to honor him, on a smaller
scale, was held in London at the end of June 2003. The papers
presented there, by Andrew Barker, Pamela Huby, Richard Sorabji,
RobertSharples,andElisabettaMatelli,havebeenpublishedinThe
BulletinoftheInstituteforClassicalStudies 47.

Description:Each paper explores the influences on different parts of Peripatetic rhetoric, its discussion of character, emotion, reason, and style, its relationships with other texts, including those of Theodectes and the Rhetorica ad Alexandrum, and its relationship with the oratory of the 4th century BC.
