Biopredation and rubbing to leather boards; hinge split at half-title page revealing spine, but binding is intact; otherwise average wear for its age; previous owner bookplate on front endpaper.

"Being the ENCHIRIDION together withChapters from the DISCOURSES and Selections from the FRAGMENTS of Epictetus". The Greek philosopher was born at Hieropolis in Phrygia around 60 A.D.

This edition is quite rare.
