Plutarch's Lives
Translated from the Original Greek
With notes critical and historical, and a memoir of the translator by Rev. J. & W. Langhorne.
Published by William Tegg, London, undated, circa 1875 (Name written to front endpaper and dated 1875). Full leather fine binding, gilt spine, marble endpapers, marble to all page edges, 748 pages.
CONDITION
A very good bound copy. The binding is very good as can be seen in the images provided. All contents present and pages clean throughout. Front inner hinge has been strengthened using archival tape. Overall very good.
Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, commonly called Parallel Lives or Plutarch's Lives, is a series of 48 biographies of famous men, arranged in pairs to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings, probably written at the beginning of the second century AD. The surviving Parallel Lives comprises 23 pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman of similar destiny, such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, or Demosthenes and Cicero. It is a work of considerable importance, not only as a source of information about the individuals described, but also about the times in which they lived.
