Contains several foundational classical moral and philosophical texts in Greek and Latin parallel, typically used for university instruction:
Epictetus – Enchiridion (“The Handbook”) - A Stoic manual on ethics, virtue, and self-control, compiled by his student Arrian.
Cebes of Thebes – Tabula (“The Tablet”) - An allegorical dialogue describing a symbolic picture representing human life, moral education, and philosophical progress.
Theophrastus – Characteres Ethici (“Ethical Characters”) - A series of moral sketches describing different human vices and follies — a forerunner to modern character psychology.
Prodicus – Hercules (Hercules at the Crossroads) - A Socratic allegory describing Hercules choosing between Virtue and Vice.
Cicero – De Exilio (On Exile) - A pseudo-Ciceronian moral dialogue concerning exile and philosophical endurance.
The text was likely prepared by an Oxford don (possibly John Hudson, who edited similar texts later in the 1690s).

Good - Contemporary full calf, blind-stamped with floral corner ornaments. Early armorial bookplate “Lord Sandys” on front pastedown (the Sandys of Ombersley; eighteenth-century hand). Old scholarly annotations/emendations in a neat hand on the front blank and occasional marginalia—useful evidence of academic use. Early price mark in graphite on the same leaf. Binding worn and scuffed; joints with short cracks but holding; corners bumped. Leaf edges toned; scattered foxing and the usual faint damp-mottling to prelims; one leaf with a small corner chip (not touching text). A good, complete copy with appealing provenance.
