About this edition

A complete edition of the surviving works of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (AD 121–180), translated in a single voice with the Greek alongside.

What's here

The whole of the Meditations — twelve books, written in Greek for an audience of one — translated from the Greek and presented in their traditional order. The text carries a headnote, an optional Greek-parallel toggle, and an apparatus of named-entity glossary and cross-references linking the books to one another and to the Stoics Marcus was reading.

From the Greek

Every translation was produced by reading the Greek text directly, not by copying or adapting any prior edition. The Greek comes from open scholarly sources.

How to use this

The Works index opens the text; the chronology places Marcus's life and reign on a timeline. The glossary is the named-entity registry — every person, place, and school the notebook names. Search spans the whole corpus.
