Epictetus
The Discourses and the Encheiridion
Translated by George Long, 1877
What this is
Epictetus wrote nothing. He was born a slave in Phrygia, was lamed, was freed, taught at Nicopolis, and what survives was taken down by his pupil Arrian — the Discourses at length, and the Encheiridion, the handbook, as a digest of them. Marcus Aurelius had a copy and quotes him more than anyone else.
How it is set
One leaf per book, with the sections numbered inside it as Long numbers them. A section of Marcus is often three lines, and a page holding three lines is not a page.
What is not here
Notes. These books have the text and nothing else at present — no map, no lives, no commentary. The Gospel of St Luke shows what an annotated book looks like on this shelf, and these will follow it. An empty heading is better than invented filler.
