Description

Book II 2:21:36, III 3:32:37, IV 5:07:12, V 6:36:43 Tusculan Disputations (Latin: TUSCULANARUM DISPUTATIONUM) is divided into five books which discuss death, pain, grief, perturbations and virtue. At issue is whether wise people can always be happy regardless of the apparent evil that fortune throws in their way. Andrew Peabody says the A. and M. in the text may stand for Auditor, Adolescens, Atticus or Aulus and Marcus or Magister. Painting: The Execution of Lady Jane Grey by Paul Delaroche.
