Antique 1715 edition of Epicteti Enchiridion (The Enchiridion of Epictetus) published in Oxford at the Sheldonian Theatre. This rare volume features Latin verses by Edward Ivie and includes a striking frontispiece engraving of the philosopher Epictetus. The text is presented in both Greek and Latin, offering a profound look into Stoic philosophy from the early 18th century. The leather binding shows significant wear, and the interior contains an early ownership inscription from a student at St. John's College, Cambridge. This item is in fair condition with heavy wear to the leather covers, spine damage, and some internal foxing and staining consistent with its age.
