Marcus Aurelius entire
The complete Meditations of Marcus Aurelius — all twelve books of the private notebook a Roman emperor kept for no reader but himself — translated in a single voice, with the Greek facing every section. A glossary of every name and a cross-reference index sit alongside.
What makes this different
A few things, taken together, set this edition apart. Click any to expand.
Fresh from the Greek, in one voice.
The Meditations translated directly from Marcus's Greek under one style guide — so the circling, repeated self-address reads as one mind, not a paraphrase of a Victorian paraphrase.
Read as he wrote it — book by book.
Presented in the twelve books with brief orientation, the private notes kept in their order rather than rearranged into a tidy treatise.
A scholarly apparatus alongside.
A glossary of every name and Stoic term and the Greek facing the text — what plain digital editions lack.
From the Greek.
Read from the Greek directly, not adapted from an earlier English version. The text comes from open scholarly sources.
