1543 Marcus AURELIUS Stoic
Philosophy Meditations Venice Italian Spanish Guevara
“You have power over your mind - not outside
events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
Antonio Guevara, a 15th-century man of letters, grew up in
the court of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain. His work, now, is considered of
little more than historical interest, but his writing style and contents
reflect the tastes of the court of Charles V, who he was writing for later in
his life.
Guevara’s ‘Libro di Marco Aurelio’
features a lengthy biography of Marcus Aurelius and includes published letters
of Emperor Aurelius. This treatise is work on Spanish morality through the lens
of the life of the famed Roman Emperor. From about 1530 to the end of the
century, a notable increase of interest in Marcus Aurelius can be seen in
Western Art. Guevara wrote this book hoping to capture some of the profits that
could be gained from promoting Marcus Aurelius.
