Bit of a Brag
I went to the annual (?) book sale at Wesleyan University in
Middletown, Connecticut this weekend. I consider it to be among the very best in the area as the books are more sophisticated and unusual than those in the typical library book sale. Today, among other things, I acquired for a mere $10 the following: Epicteteae Philosophiae Monumenta, (Leipzig: Libraria Weidmannia 1799-1800) 5 volumes, edited by Johann Schweighaeuser, and consisting of: v.1: Epicteti Dissertationes. -- v.2.pt.1-2: Notae in Epicteti Dissertationes. -- v.3: Enchiridion, fragmenta, indices. -- v.4: Simplicii commentarius in Epicteti Enchiridion ex versione Latina Hieronymi Wolfii. -- v.5: Enchiridii paraphrasis Christiana, cum Mer. Casauboni Latina versione. Nili Ascetae Manuale Epicteti, ad usum juvenum Christianorum adcommodatum. Epicteti Enchiridion Angelo Politiano interprete. Notae ad Simplicii commentarium. The binding of one volume was fully intact, another except for the spine, and the other three had been rebound. At some point, I will probably have them uniformly bound in the manner of the original binding. The interiors are in superb shape with no pages missing or damaged. -- Francis A.
