Abstract

The present article studies the relationships that can be established between the Libro de Séneca contra la ira e saña, medieval translation of Seneca’s dialogue On anger dedicated to Sancho IV of Castile, and the Franciscan Roger Bacon (1214/1220-1292), called Doctor Mirabilis. The opinions on Seneca and his dialogue proposed by Bacon in his works, mainly in his Opus maius and his Opus tertium, coincide with the ideas contained in the prologue of the Castilian translation in regard to the assessment of the philosopher, the place of moral philosophy, the pernicious effects of passion and the importance of the princes’ education.
