THE PRINCIPAL WORKS USED OR CONSULTED ON SHNECA. The following are the principal works used or con sulted in preparing the matter relating to Seneca: Oeuvres completes dc SV/i^/cr. I nr Charpentier ft Lemaistre. 4 tomes. Paris. 1S85. Oewres completes de Senci/in . [ iihliees SOTS la direction de A/. Nisard. Paris, 1877. L. Annaeus Seneca des Philosophen Wtrke iiln rsi tzt von Pauli/ und Moser. Stutttjard, 1823-32. Christliche Kldnye as den griechischen u<l rumischen Klassikern. Von R. Schneider. Leipzig, 1377. Lttcius Annaeits Seneca und i/os Christenthum, Von Michael Baumyarten. Rostock, 1895. La Religion romaine. Par Gaston Koissier, 2 tomes. Paris. 1892. History of the Romans under the Empire. By Charles Merivale 7 vols. New York, 1SH3-5. L. Annnei Senecae opera quae sitpersitnt. Ed. Frid. Haase, Voll. I. II, III. Lipsiae, 1871-62-53. The two Paris editions have the Latin text and the French translation on the same page. Both transla tions are characteristically French, and consequently very smooth and agreeable to read. But they pre serve few of the salient features of the original, and render the thoughts rather than the style of Seneca. To the translation is accorded the place of honor both in type and position. The German version holds very close to the text and errs, perhaps, some what at the other extreme as compared with the French. The work of Baumgarten is thorough and painstaking. It is not endorsing all the author s views to say that it is the best recent book on Seneca and his times. 10
SENECA: HIS CHARACTER AND ENVIRONMENT. Lucius Annaeus Seneca, surnamed the Philoso pher to distinguish him from his father the Rhetor ician, was born in Corduba, 1 in Spain, about 4 B. c date. authorities differ by several years as to the precise When quite young he was brought to Rome by his father. He devoted himself with great zenl and brilliant success to rhetorical and philosophical studies. In the reign of Claudius he attained the office of quaestor and subsequently rose to the rank of senator. In the year 41 he was ban ished to the island of Corsica on a charge that is ad mitted to have been false, but the nature of which is not clearly understood. In this barren and inhospitable island he was com pelled to remain eight years. He was then recalled to Rome and entrusted with the education of the young Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, who after wards became emperor of Rome, and notorious as the monster Nero. For five years after his accession to the principate, the young emperor treated his former It is a noteworthy fact that many of Rome s great men were Spaniards, while many others were not natives of the city. Among the former were the emperors Trajan, Hadrian, Anorninns and Marcus Anrelius. The two Senecas, Lucan, Mar tial and Quintillian were also Spaniards. Vespasian was borat Reate; Livy, in Padua; Horace, at Venusia; Virgil, in Mantua; Cioero, at Arpinum; the emperor Claudius, at Lugdunum; the two Plinys, at Commn, etc. 11
