What Our Customers Say...

Description

An Important Work, Leather Binding, Pleasing Copy

Two volumes bound in one. 

ESTC T149289.

The very scarce Foulis edition of the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, printed in both Greek and Latin. Foulis simultaneously published this work as two volumes in one (as is the case here) and an edition in which the Latin and Greek run in parallel text.

Collated, lacking a leaf of printer's advertisements to the rear of the work. Endpapers and blanks renewed.

Handsomely bound in full tree calf by Riviere. 

Bookplate of one 'Reginald Hush' to front paste down. 

A bilingual edition of Aurelius' influential philosophical work, Meditations. Highlighting his key Stoic tenants, the work is considered the most complete understanding of ancient Stoic philosophy.

Condition

In full tree calf with gilt detail to spine. Externally in excellent condition with minor rubbing to joints and extremities. Prior owner's bookplate to front paste down. Offsetting to endpapers. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with just minor age toning.

Very Good Indeed
