Meditations (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus the Roman Emperor, His Meditations concerning Himselfe)

The Meditations were written in Greek in antiquity; the printed editio princeps (Greek with a Latin version) is Wilhelm Xylander's, printed by Andreas Gesner at Zürich, 1559 — the true first appearance of the text in print. For the ENGLISH tradition, Casaubon's 1634 (STC 962) is the first edition and the collector's entry point. 'First thus' traps: later 17th-century Casaubon printings, Jeremy Collier's 1701 translation, the W. H. D. Rouse edition, and all modern translations are separate editions, not the 1634 first.
