Book excerpt: Berry, who is not identified, looks for exactly where in first-century Roman philosopher Seneca's writings he appears to turn away from the polytheism of the Roman empire, from the deities that were enshrined in the Pantheon, and specifically from the state philosophy of Stoicism. He finds the essay de Providentia as the likeliest place to look, and offers a translation on pages facing a reproduction of the Latin of the first printed edition, the Editio Princeps of 1475.
