Work Overview
adoxography /adɔks'ɔgrafi/
(n.) beautiful writing on a subject of little or no importance
To be precise, it is a modern word, which describes an ancient method to train the art of rhetoric. This method is described by Anthony Munday, in an English translation of an Italian book, The Defence of Contraries1593, whereas the noun is first used in The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 1909 by Terrot Glover. However the adjective adoxographical preceded it, used in the American Journal of Philology in 1903.
[from the modern Latin adoxus paradoxical or absurd derived from the Greek root doxa opinion or belief, and the French suffix -graphie writing or field of study ]
