De què tracta
El segon volum d'una seleccio dels «Moralia» de Plutarc: la part no biografica de la seva obra, on hi ha els seus assaigs morals i les seves converses.
Context i història
Al catàleg hi ha tambe els «Moralia» sencers, i aquesta es una tria feta per un editor per a un public general; convé indicar sempre de quin tractat ve un passatge, no nomes del volum. Plutarc era sacerdot a Delfos i platonic, i escriu com un home cultivat que conversa amb el lector: dona consells sobre l'amistat i sobre com distingir un adulador d'un amic, discuteix la ira i la tranquil·litat de l'anima, parla de l'educacio dels fills i de si els animals raonen. Montaigne el va llegir tota la vida i li deu bona part del to dels seus «Assaigs», que tambe son al corpus.

_Instances of Delay in Divine Punishment_ from its simpler psychology and demonology, and perhaps from some crudity in style, suggests a date earlier than that of some of the others. Dr. Max Adler, in his lucid and learned dissertation, has established the close connexion between the _Face in the Moon_ and the _Cessation of the Oracles_, and thinks the former to have been the earlier, and to have been utilized for the latter piece.[5] Montaigne, who knew his Plutarch up and down, has said that he is one of the authors whom he likes to take after the manner of the Danaids,[6] which may be described as a method of ‘dip and waste’. You may dip anywhere, as you may into the pages of _The Doctor_, and be sure of finding something which you would wish to remember; but you may also find, on re-reading the same passage, that you have not remembered it at all, so that the waste is continual. The freshness need not be impaired by a little more system; indeed it would be enhanced, at least for the dialogues, for this reason, that they all represent real conversations between real persons, and it is worth our while to put together our impressions about each. The fullest materials for such an attempt will be found in the _Symposiacs_ or dialogues over wine.[7] The _Symposiacs_ are arranged in nine books, each of which contains ten conversations of unequal length, but all short, except the last which has fifteen. On the other hand nine, viz. four of the fourth book and five of the last, are missing, only the titles being preserved. All the books are dedicated to Sossius Senecio, who was consul first in A.D. 99; and as there is no reference to the dignity, we may perhaps infer that all were written before that year.[8] There is not a single reference in all the nine books to any public or personal event which might help us to a date.…
