Explore the depths of Roman philosophy with these RARE 1853 miniature books featuring Cicero, Epictetus, and Lucius, Publius and more—all in German. These first edition books, originally published in Magdeburg, Germany, are a true gem for any collector or philosophy enthusiast looking for rare books.

The books belonged to an elderly German man who left Germany in the 1940’s and relocated to the DC area. We were told they are quite rare. They are all in miniature size and very hefty containing many pages. This man had lots of memorabilia brought over from Germany during WWII.

The books have been very well preserved, and they all have very nice tight spines. They have held up incredibly well and there’s just a little condition to the spines and somewhere but overall in very good condition.
