One of the most widely circulated items of wisdom literature during the Middle Ages, the Vita Secundi is a Greek text of the second century AD. The substantial introduction to the edition deals with the motives for the work’s translation into Spanish, tracks the extent of its diffusion in Spain, and analyses in detail the textual history of the Spanish version.
‘The volume is fully indexed, and in view of its adept and knowledgeable treatment of the subject, it will become essential reading.’ (Bulletin of Spanish Studies, Vol. LXXX, No. 1, 2003)
