1517 1^st Aldine SENECA Tragedies Stoic Philosophy Stoicism Latin Post Incunable

 

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

― Seneca

 

A rare early-16^th-century printing of the works of Seneca the Younger. Seneca wrote essays, dialogues, and letters, all of which offer valuable insight into Ancient Rome. His tragedies, however, are his most iconic and recognizable works. These works tell many of the famous stories of mythology including those of Hercules, The Trojan Women, Oedipus, and Agamemnon.

 

This highly valuable 1517 first Aldine edition was published in Venice – an incredibly desirable post-incunable printing!
