The first direct mention of the work appears in the 10th century.
However, according to García Gual, after that and until the 9th century there are no mentions of the writings of Marcus Aurelius. Themistios, in his panegyric on Valens, entitled Brotherly Love or On Humanity, finds the first reference to Marcus Aurelius' writing under the express title of "Marcus's Admonitions" (Márkou parengélmata).2 Avidius Cassius's biographer in History Augusta refers to some "exhortations" that Marcus Aurelius would have made days before leaving to go to war with the Marcomanni. In the middle of the fourth century, Julian the Apostate and the orator Themistius mention with approval and praise the personality of Marcus Aurelius.
It was originally written in Greek between the years 170 and 180. The Meditations, Thoughts or Himself (in Greek, Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, Tà eis heautón, literally 'things for himself') of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius is a literary work made up of a series of reflections by this philosopher.
