何についての本か
プルタルコス『モラリア』の抄録、その第二巻。伝記でないほうの著作群であり、道徳論考と談話を収める。
背景と歴史
本目録には『モラリア』の全体も収められており、こちらは一般読者のために編者が選んだ抄録である。引用の際は、巻数だけでなく、どの論考から来た一節かを必ず示したい。プルタルコスはデルフォイの神官であり、プラトン派であり、教養ある人が読者と語り合うように書く。友情について、追従者と友をどう見分けるかについて助言し、怒りと心の平静を論じ、子どもの教育を語り、動物は推論するかを問う。モンテーニュは生涯これを読み、『エセー』の語り口の多くをここに負っている。『エセー』も本文庫にある。

_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.…
