“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.
