| Summary: | Our extant text of the Manual (Enchiridion) which epitomized the teachings of the slave and Stoic philosopher Epictetus is embedded in the commentary of Simplicius, the last pagan expositor of Aristotle. It was known to many Christians in the form of a midrashic amplification, which is commonly styled the Paraphrase because this inaccurate sobriquet was given to the earliest printed version. The Paraphrase in turn became the subject of a commentary, and the seed would have swollen to a mighty gourd but for the abortion or mutilation of this project. Fragments survive in manuscripts of unequal length, the fullest of which does not encompass more than the first ten chapters of the Paraphrase. |
