Why these editions
Modern translations are under copyright. Only older editions have entered the public domain, and those are the ones Stoïque reads: in English, Long (1862), Gummere (1917–1925), Stewart (1889), Carter (1758), Long (1877); in French, Couat (1904), Barthélemy-Saint-Hilaire (1876), Baillard (1861), Guyau (1875), Courdaveaux (1862).
Each language is read from its own edition. The French text is not translated from the English one, and a reference names the chapter of the edition it comes from: two editions do not always cut their chapters at the same place.
The chapters, letters and dialogues reproduced on this site are copied word for word from the source files, with the translator, the year and the locator of that edition. The app modernizes the wording of the same editions and keeps every reference.
