Bringing together notions of credibility and proof, an international team of scholars highlight the fierce debates around this form of argumentation during two key periods for Aristotle's beliefs.Reflecting on medieval and humanist thinkers, philosophers, poets and theologians, this volume joins up dialectical and rhetorical argumentation as key to the enthymeme's interpretation and shows how the enthymeme was the source of a major interpretive conflict. As a method for achieving the standards for proof and credibility that persist across diverse fields of study today including the law, politics, medicine and morality, this book takes in Latin and Persian interpretations of the enthymeme and casts contemporary argumentation in a new historical light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book on the history of the problem of how we demonstrate by means of enthymemes. It gives a consistent account of what has happened in the twelve centuries that separate Boethius from Ramus, and it contributes to our understanding of the connection between logic and rhetoric. It revives the tradition of Ciceronianism, of which Fosca Mariani Zini is a renowned authority. * Riccardo Pozzo, Professor of the History of Philosophy, Tor Vergata University of Rome, Italy *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables Notes on Contributors    Introduction: The Theory of Enthymeme: Between Defective and Ampliative Inference, \u003ci\u003eFosca Mariani Zini (University of Tours, France)\u003c\/i\u003e  1.
