Abstract
"The following studies are found within: (1) Tranquillus : Etymology and Meaning Before Seneca; (2) Tranquillitas in Seneca; (3) Composition and Purpose [of De Tranquillitate Animi]; (4) Date of Seneca, De Tranquillitate Animi ; (5) Sources and Predecessors [of De Tranquillitate Animi]. Several appendices focus on other issues related to Seneca's treatise and his vocabulary for ""peace of mind."" Seneca shows himself to be a keen and original observer of psychological peace and should not be seen as parroting an unidentifiable source."
