Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Frontispiece to Epicteti Enchiridion made English, in a poetical paraphrase by Ellis Walker. (The book was reprinted as The morals of Epictetus made English, in a poetical paraphrase after 1716). The caption reads: "EPICTETUS lived at Rome in a little house, which had not so much as a door; All the Attendants he had was an old Servant maid, and all his houshold stuff an earthen Lamp. Vincent Obsop: l: 3 Anth: ad Epig: Epictet:" The British Museum [1] credits the print to William Faithorne (who died 1691 - a year before the first edition). The engraving is signed "W.E." who is William Elder. Elder's engraving appeared in the first edition of 1692 [2], and again in the 1695 edition, before being reprinted again in the 1716 edition. The reference in the caption to "Vincent Obsop" must be Vincentius Opsopoeus among whose works is a commentary to the Greek Anthology. |
