Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style
''Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style'' ((ラテン語:De Utraque Verborum ac Rerum Copia)) is a rhetoric textbook〔 written by Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus, and first published in 1512. It was a best-seller widely used for teaching how to rewrite pre-existing texts, and how to incorporate them in a new composition.〔Kenny (2011) p.57〕 Erasmus systematically instructed on how to embellish, amplify, and give variety to speech and writing.
==Production and publication==
The first official edition of ''De Copia'', titled ''De duplici copia rerum ac verborum commentarii duo'', was published by Josse Bade in Paris in 1512 and helped establish Erasmus as a major humanist scholar.〔Knott 282.〕 Erasmus began conceptualizing the work much earlier, in the 1490s, during a time when creating style manuals for school boys was considered to be a noble calling.〔Knott 280.〕 It is widely believed that Erasmus left a working copy of the manuscript behind after a trip to Italy (1506–1509) and, upon hearing that an unauthorized version was forthcoming, quickly produced a version to thwart the effort.〔Knott 280.〕 Though he was reluctant to publish the work in haste, Erasmus hoped to avoid being associated with what he called "a thoroughly bad text" and ultimately produced "the lesser evil of the two".〔Erasmus 288.〕 The early draft version of the text that was left behind in Italy is written as a dialogue between two students and is titled ''Brevis de Copia Praeceptio''; it was eventually printed in 1519 as an appendix to the ''Formulae''.〔Callahan 100.〕
Erasmus did not feel that his work was fully complete with the 1512 edition of ''De Copia'', and he continued to update the work throughout his life. The general concept and structure of the work remained the same over time, even as Erasmus amended and expanded the text.〔Knott 281.〕 Subsequent authorized editions of ''De Copia'' were published in December 1514 (in a volume which also included the ''Parabolae''), April 1517, May 1526, and August 1534.〔Knott 281.〕
