Epictetus’ Path to Peace in a Troubled World

Description: 2 vols., bound in original black buckram, flat spine lettered and decorated in gilt. Sextodecimo: 17 × 11 cm; pp. xlix, ii, 300; vi, 390. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Printed by the Chiswick Press.

Provenance: Small bookplate to front pastedown of R. Scott.

Condition: Covers show wear to corners, edges and spine ends. Front joint of vol. 2 cracked but holding. Some minor dust-soiling and stains to top edge. Internally in generally very good condition.

Notes: George Long’s translation is renowned for its clear, unadorned prose, which reflects the direct, practical style of Epictetus’s original Greek text. It became one of the most widely read English translations of Epictetus’s work and influenced the way Stoicism was received in Britain and America. It was a standard reference work for scholars and educators. It made a significant contribution to the 19th-century revival of Stoic thought.
