Talk:De Clementia

Removed passage
I removed the following passage because these two remarks (which are general remarks about Seneca) tell us almost nothing about the critical reception of De Clementia. It might be worth adding them to the Seneca page itself. I'm just not sure where.

Critical reception
De Clementia faced negative critique from Seneca's contemporaries. Gellius states that his works are not particularly worth reading due to being pedestrian. Quintilian found his work admirable, but wasted with cheap effect and failing to demonstrate the possession of solid knowledge — in no way comparable to Cicero. Despite this, Seneca has seen extraordinary popularity in his own times and in the Renaissance.
