Description: English translation by Trevelyan at Cambridge. Condition is below wiki quote. Wiki: "De rerum natura 'On the Nature of Things' is a first-century BC didactic poem by the Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius (ca99 BC-55 BC) with the goal of explaining Epicurean philosophy to a Roman audience. The poem, written in some 7,400 dactylic hexameters, is divided into six untitled books and explores Epicurean physics through poetic language and metaphors. Lucretius explores the principles of atomism; the nature of the mind and soul; explanations of sensation and thought; the development of the world and its phenomena; a variety of celestial and terrestrial phenomena. The universe described in the poem operates according to these physical principles guided by fortuna "chance" and not the divine intervention of the traditional Roman deities."
