All edges red. Printers devices. The works of Seneca in French. Seneca was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman and dramatist. Seneca was popular as an early humanist figure. As the Ency. Brit. 11th ed. states, "The school [stoicism] is remarkable for its anticipation of modern ethical conceptions, for the lofty morality of its exhortations to forgive injuries and overcome evil with good; the obligation to universal benevolence had been deduced from the cosmopolitan principle that all men are brethren. In Seneca, in addition to all this, there is a distinctively religious temperament, which finds expression in phrases curiously suggestive of the spiritual doctrines of Christianity." (p. 638) As a result, Seneca's writings found traction with both early Christian writers and later humanists.
