BOOK DESCRIPTION
Seneca, the favorite classic of the early fathers of the Church and of the Middle Ages, whom Jerome, Tertullian and Augustine call "Seneca noster", who is said to have corresponded with Saint Paul, and about whom [Footnote: On the /" From Clementia/", a strange subject for the man who burned Servetus alive for disagreeing with him.] Calvin wrote a commentary which seems almost forgotten in modern times. Perhaps part of his popularity was due to the fact that he was supposed to be the author of those tragedies which the world has long since ceased to read, but which delighted an age which preferred Euripides to Aeschylus: while the casuists must have found pleasant material in an author whose fantastic cases of conscience are often worthy of Sanchez or Escobar. Yet Seneca's morality is always pure, and from him we obtain, although at second hand, an insight into the doctrines of the Greek philosophers, Zeno, Epicurus, Chrysippus, etc., from whose precepts and system of religious thought had been taken in cultivated Roman society. the place of the ancient cult of Jupiter and Quirinus. Since Lodge's edition (fol. 1614), no complete translation of Seneca has been published in England, although Sir Roger L'Estrange wrote paraphrases of several Dialogues, which appear to have been extremely popular, spanning over more than sixteen editions. I think we can assume that Shakespeare had seen Lodge's translation, from several allusions to philosophy, to this impossible conception /"the wise man/", and especially from a passage from /"All is well which ends well/" which seems to breathe the very spirit of /"De Beneficiis./"
