# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Hispania around 35 AD, Marcus Fabius Quintilianus made his name in Rome as an educator and rhetorician, training the next generation in the art of persuasive speech. His systematic approach to rhetoric became the standard, studied in medieval schools across Europe and rediscovered with fresh urgency during the Renaissance. He died around 100 AD, but the manual he left behind kept circulating, a Roman's guide to clear thinking and effective argument that refused to go out of print.
