1649 Joh. Fred. Gronovii ad L & M Annaeos Senecas Notae. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Sorry, this item has sold.

Johann Friedrich Gronovius' notes on the works of Seneca, in a convenient hand-held (likely for student use) 12mo size. This copy holding together well and in a handsome yapp-edged vellum binding with Senec. on the spine, in an old hand.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca the younger was a Stoic philosopher of Ancient Rome.

Johann Friedrich Gronovius was a German classical philologist and critic.

In this work, Gronovius notates Seneca's works on Stoicism (Naturales Quaestiones), his letters, On Anger, On Tranquility of the Mind, etc. It seems to include most of Seneca's works, if not all known at that time.
