Translations of Epictetus on the Internet
Translations of Epictetus may be found at the following sites:
For a complete edition of George Long’s famous nineteenth-century translation of the Discourses, please visit The Internet Classics Archive.
There are several translations of the Handbook available on-line:
Nicholas White’s translation. This is the text from the 1983 Hackett edition, and includes White’s very helpful Introduction [highly recommended].
My own translation of the Handbook at my Stoic Foundation site, which is duplicated at my Yahoo Geocities site [a work in progress].
P. E. Matheson’s translation. (First 38 Chapters only.)
Thomas Wentworth Higginson’s translation.
Elizabeth Carter’s translation.
New sites are appearing all the time, and it is well worth the trouble of doing a search for Epictetus every once in a while.
Please contact me with news of any good sites that you find, or to comment on or query aspects of Epictetus. k.h.s@btinternet.com
My own Stoic site is at The Stoic Foundation.
This page is maintained by Dr. Keith H. Seddon, author of the Epictetus article at the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
