1653 Table of Cebes Stoic Philosophy Greek Latin Cebetis Tabula French Platonic

A rare, late 17^th-century printing of ‘The Table’ by ancient Greek philosopher Cebes. The original work, written during the time of Socrates, is a dialogue taking place in a temple between two individuals contemplating the representation of symbols and allegory in art found on a tablet. ‘Cebetis Tabula’, as it is known in Latin, uses Stoic influences and is typical of Hellenistic and Platonic morality.

This 1653 French edition was collected, edited, and translated by Gilles Boileau and includes discussion on science, joy and felicity, patience, astrology, arithmetic, penitence, fortune, and much more.
