Thank you. While, I am acquianted or have read a fair share of the works, this list is so thorough and comprehensive and provides me with what I need toi truly understand the breadth and scope of Stoicism and enable me to more efficiently and effectively incorporate the learnings in my own classrooms. You are appreciated. Great Man! What about Seneca's On the Shortness of Life (changed mine when I was a teenager)?
Thank you sir! For putting this together and sharing it. I have been looking for this kind of information since I started getting serious about Stoicism. You have made my day.
"On the Happy Life" is a great choice because of its short length and accessibility.
Here's an interesting fact about Cicero: "On Duties" was the first book printed in Italy, in 1465. This highlights the work's importance, and the importance of Cicero in the Renaissance:
Many of his major works went through 60 different printings in Europe before 1500 — surely bestseller status!
But his most printed work during this time period was "Stoic Paradoxes," which had 69 different printings.
I'm not a free speech enthusiast. And I'm going to pass on Aporia, having looked them over.
If you don't have anything relevant to say on a piece, you might not want to comment

Sure, you can read as much other Seneca as you like
What a great, useful essay! Thanks for all the practical suggestions. You've given me a "reading map" for the months ahead.
You're very welcome!

This is incredibly helpful, especially regarding Seneca. I began reading Letters from the beginning, but was feeling a bit lost in the weeds!
Is the Enchiridon by Arrius here the same one in Loeb Classical Library 218? ( https://www.loebclassics.com/view/LCL218/1928/volume.xml )
