The Greek text was first published in the Aldin...e Rhetores Graeci (1508), and was for the first time incorporated in the works of Aris- totle published in Basel, 1531. As early as 1478, however, the Latin version by George of Trebizond had been pub- lished in Venice.^2 This was frequently reissued in the Opera of Aristotle together with the Rhetorica ad Alex- andrufn, long believed to be the work of Aristotle, in the Latin translation by Filelfo, and the Poetics in Pazzi's translation. As the true Rhetoric of Aristotle, known to the renaissance as the Ars rhetoricorum ad Theodecten, was so frequently published with the spurious Rhetorica, references to Aristotle's Rhetoric in the sixteenth century are likely to be confusing.
