Small worm hole on first cover, laces missing. Freckles, about twenty browned pages, light corner and marginal wetness on half the leaves. 1) The original edition of the translation is 1604. F. Hennebert, Histoire des traductions françaises d'auteurs grecs et latins pendant les XVIe et XVIIe siècles, pp. 151-152. This translation, although from the early 17th century, is still linked to the language of the previous century: "The language he speaks is still that of Amyot. [...] To judge him impartially, we must compare him with the writers whose traditions he has followed. The translation of the works of the Stoic philosophers in the early 17th century was a continuation of their appropriation by Christians. 2) The original edition dates from 1623. The author, Seneca the Rhetor, father of Seneca the Philosopher, gives a compilation of Latin rhetorical exercises: controversies and suasoires. The former were of the legal kind, aimed at proving the innocence or guilt of an accused person, while the latter were of the deliberative kind: advising the useful and advising against the harmful. The work is an important source for knowledge of Latin rhetoric.
