Manuscript Work on Ancient Classical Philosophers
Manuscript Volume A manuscript, 248 pp in a very neat hand. Entitled "A Translation of the Manuel [sic] of Epictetus; with a brief sketch of the Philosophy of the Greeks and Romans. Some of the Dialogues of Socrates; and the Advice of Isocrates to a young man." By "J.S." (unidentified), c 1860.
Epictetus (c 50-135 A.D.) was a Greek Stoic philosopher whose ideas on life and human behaviour influenced subsequent generations; he taught that we should accept external events with calmness, while maintaining control over our lives through self-discipline. The ideas of the rhetorician Isocrates (436-338 B.C.) have been a major influence on the concept of liberal arts education. Attractively bound in brown morocco with gold tooled edges and spine.(1)
