SENECA (Lucius Annaeus). De la Colere. Paris. 1651. - SENECA (Lucius Annaeus) De la Colere . De la version de P. Du-Ryer. Paris: Antoine de Sommaville, 1651. [2], 460 pp.; 135 mm. Original edition of the translation by Pierre Du Ryer, published in small format by Antoine de Sommaville. *On Anger* is one of Seneca's best-known moral treatises, divided into three books and dedicated to his brother Novatus, in which he discusses the nature, causes, and remedies of anger, considered by the philosopher to be the most dangerous and unrestrained of passions. This translation is part of the same project to translate all of Seneca's works into French, begun by François de Malherbe and continued by Du Ryer, whose versions of the various treatises were published separately, in small format, throughout the 1650s, before being brought together in 1659 in the large folio edition of * The Works of Seneca* , also printed by Sommaville. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
