Description
Contending that the hermeneutical tradition is not a purely modern German discipline, Kathy Eden argues instead that the historical grounding of modern hermeneutics is in the ancient tradition of rhetoric. Eden demonstrates how the early rhetorical model of reading, called "interpretatio scripti" by Cicero, has forget such enduring hermeneutical principles as meaning, context, and literary economy.
