1687 De Officiis CICERO Philosophy ROME Julius Caesar du Ryer French Latin

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”

― Marcus Tullius Cicero

Cicero’s “De Officis,” describes the best way to live, behave, and work. It also depicts Roman politics and way of life during the Roman Republic after the overthrow of Julius Caesar. This work is notably famous for being the third book ever printed and that “during the 15^th-century, ‘De Officiis’ was the pinnacle of moral philosophy” (Baldwin, 590).

This 17^th-century edition is notable for containing both Latin and French translations in parallel – translated by Paul du Ryer.
