1890 The Works of Epictetus by Epictetus - Stoic Philosophy.
This hardback book is in good conditionwith reasonable imperfections to the cover (see pics).
The book contains the Discourses in four books, the Enchiridion, and Fragments, translated from the Greek by Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Epictetus\'s teachings focus on character, reason, self-control, personal responsibility, and learning to distinguish between what is within our control and what is not.
This is the New and Revised Edition translated by Thomas Wentworth Higginson and published in New York by Thomas Nelson and Sons. Bibliographic records date this edition to 1890, which is also the date of Higginson\'s revised preface found in this copy.
The physical book has considerable decorative appeal, with black leather over blue cloth, gilt rules and ornaments, raised spine bands, and gilt spine lettering. More than 130 years old, it has the classic appearance of a late 19th-century philosophy volume and would display particularly well in a collection.
An appealing 19th-century collectible edition of a Stoic classic for readers and collectors of Epictetus, philosophy, classical literature, antique books, and decorative leather-bound volumes.
