The Discourses of Epictetus translated by P. E. Matheson 1968 The Heritage Press w/Slipcase vg Includes Sandglass Number IX:32 The Discourses of Epictetus are a series of extracts of the teachings of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus written down by Arrian c. 108 AD. The earliest manuscript of the Discourses is a twelfth-century manuscript kept at the Bodleian Library, Oxford. In the Bodleian manuscript, a blot or stain has fallen onto one of the pages, and has made a series of words illegible; in all the other known manuscripts these words (or sometimes the entire passage) are omitted, thus all the other manuscripts are derived from this one archetype. #TheDiscoursesofEpictetus#Epictetus#Theheritagepress#vintagebooks#bookstore
