AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Bound in leather, with a decorated cover, typographic mark, and framed texts. Miniature edition of Cicero's De Officiis from 1629. Previous library stamp, very good condition.
De Officiis is a philosophical work by Marcus Tullius Cicero, written in 44 BC and addressed to his son Marcus. In it, he reflects on the moral duties that every citizen must follow. The work is divided into three books inspired by Stoic philosophy. The first deals with honesty and fundamental virtues such as justice and prudence. The second analyzes usefulness and its relation to power, wealth, and public life. The third studies conflicts between usefulness and honesty. Cicero concludes that what is truly useful can never be separated from morality. Miniature edition, a genuine rarity.
