RUTILIUS LUPUS, a Roman rhetorician of the time of Cicero, has left behind him a treatise De Figuris Sententiarum et Elocutionis. This treatise was merely an abridgment from the work of a contemporary, Gorgias of Athens. The one book of which it originally consisted was divided into two by some of its subsequent editors. Its chief value in the present day is derived from its numerous quotations from the works of Greek authors now lost. The editio princeps of Rutilius was printed by Zoppinus at Venice, 8vo, 1519. The best edition is that of Ruhnken, 8vo, Leyden, 1768.
