Description
The Discourses of Epictetus Translated by George Long A collection of extracts from the teachings of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, written down by his student Arrian in the 1st century AD. The earliest surviving manuscript of these discourses is a twelfth-century text housed at the Bodleian Library in Oxford. The Discourses were first printed in Greek in 1535 and later translated into English for the first time in 1758, with Elizabeth Carter's translation proving to be highly successful. This edition has been reprinted several times since its initial publication, influencing later translations of Epictetus' work. This book presents a unique opportunity to explore the teachings of one of ancient Greece's most influential philosophers, offering insights into Stoic philosophy and its enduring relevance today.
