‎The 1607-edition (with the additional notes of Lipsius) of this highly important edition of the works of Seneca the Younger (the philosopher) and Seneca the Elder (the rhetorian), having the excellent and important notes by some of the most noted scholars, e.g. Muretus and Erasmus. The work first appeared in 1602, but that did not contain the notes of Lipsius, which first appeared in the 1607-edition (i.e. the present). The work was very popular and new editions kept appearing - 1613, 1619, 1627. ""This is called a very excellent edition by Ernesti... The 1607 edition contains, besides the preceeding materials, some notes of Lipsius..."" (Dibdin). ‎
