Je rends au public ce qu'il m'a prêté : de luy la matière de cet ouvrage, il est juste que, l'ayant achevé avec toute l'attention pour la vérité dont je suis capable et qu'il mérite de moy, je luy en fasse la restitution.

Disambiguation notice

This work contains both "Theophrastus' characters" as translated by La Bruyère and his own "Characters". Please try to keep it separate from either individual works. Correct ISBNs include : 2080700723, 287714156X

This is a Bryn Mawr commentary on Theophrastus Characters and as such its merit is how well it helps students get to grips with the Greek text. It should not therefore be combined with other works that include the Greek text (let alone translations)
