The Marcus Aurelius Collection
To Myself
Τῶν εἰς ἑαυτόν
The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, in a new parallel-text edition — the original Greek, the sixteenth-century Latin, and two independent English translations, side by side across all twelve books.
An Edition Unlike the Others
Watch the meaning carried across languages
Most editions give you one translator’s voice. This one lets you watch the text being carried across languages — and see, line by line, where the meaning shifts.

New — The Companion Novel
To Himself
A Novel of Marcus Aurelius
Beyond the Danube, AD 172. A surrounded army, three days of water, and an emperor who begins the most famous private journal ever written. The story of the man behind these twelve books — the first six chapters are free to read, and the complete 32-chapter novel is in final editing and publishes soon.
The Honest Edition
The Greek and the English follow the standard critical text. The Latin column reproduces Xylander’s 1558 translation; where the early printing was incomplete, a small number of passages are editorial restorations, supplied for continuity and clearly identified in each volume’s note on the text. Nothing is passed off as something it is not.
