Answer:

16th century - Scholars ignore the treatise until it is published in Basel in 1554 by Francis Robortello and Niccol da Falgano in 1560. The original work is attributed to "Dionysius Longinus," and the treatise is translated into most European languages.

Explanation:

The author of "On the Sublime," an essay published around the year 100 CE, has no known biographical information. It is not the work of Cassius Longinus, a third-century rhetorician. Early versions cite "Dionysius or Longinus" as the author, raising the possibility that the work was written by Dionysius of Halicarnassus.The essay's conclusion has long been lost, leaving readers with this lengthy fragment. "On the Sublime," written as an epistolary letter to "dear Terentianus," examines the work of more than 50 ancient writers through the lens of the sublime, which Longinus defines as man's ability to reach beyond the realm of the human condition into greater mystery through feeling and words.
