£950 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

A beautifully printed and well-bound limited edition of the main surviving work by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus (c. 50-c. 133 A.D.). The text is a reprint of George Long’s English translation of 1877. The writings of Epictetus were mainly preserved through the careful notes of his pupil Flavius Arrianus (c. 95-175 A.D.), the historian of Alexander the Great; through these posthumous publications he had great influence on Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
