The Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy

Anne Conway

Published: 1690

Copytext: 1692

Conway's Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy was first published in 1690 in Amsterdam, in a posthumous Latin translation from the original English manuscript. It was then translated from the Latin back into English, and published in 1692 in London. As the original manuscript sadly does not survive, we have no option but to take this third-hand 1692 version as our copytext. Our general principle on this site is to include only works originally published in the author's own English, but the unusual history of this work seemed to merit making an exception.
