Following Fothergill-Payne's studies (1986, 1988, 1993) on the presence of Seneca in La Celestina, a detailed analysis of the description of the ire of Melibea in Act VI, scene 2, is offered. This analysis relates this description to the Stoic tradition of the infamatio irae and, in particular, to the portraits of the angry man from book I, 1, 2-4 of De ira, according to the medieval Spanish translation dedicated to King Sancho IV. This translation circulated widely during the fifteenth century. Its use by the author of the interpolation of Act VI reinforces the didactic and moralizing intention of the work in general.

Keywords : Celestina; Séneca; Ire; Stoicism; Medieval Translation.
