The De Arte Rhetorica (1568) was organized in Aristotelian form but borrowed its content heavily from Cicero. Soarez intended the De Arte as an introductory digest that would introduce students to the principles of rhetoric and oratory. Though students had learned Latin grammar, he found that they were not guaranteed to have facility reading “Quintilian, Cicero, Virgil, Sallust, and the other authors.".
