Marcus Aurelius
The Meditations
Translated by George Long, 1862
What this is
Twelve books of notes the emperor wrote to himself on campaign, in Greek, with no sign that he meant anyone else to read them. Book One is a list of debts to particular people; the eleven that follow are arguments he is having with himself.
Book One has its own edition
Book One — Debts and Lessons is set out entry by entry, with a plate, a map and a short life of every person in it. It is not repeated here; the contents below link to it.
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. Book One shows what an annotated book looks like on this shelf, and these will follow it. An empty heading is better than invented filler.
