Though Aristotle is rarely mentioned, the Introduzione alla morale is clearly based on the Nicomachean Ethics, as it appears from the long section on virtues as medium terms among opposite vices, as well as in the final section on justice. The work…
The compendium follows the structure and mostly the contents of the Nicomachean Ethics, so that this is very close to being a shortened paraphrase. The only part really missing seems to be that on contemplation in Book X and that on the problem of…

The long treatise Della filosofia morale is divided into four sections: 1. Della filosofia morale; 2. Della felicità ; 3. Della virtù in genere; 4. Della virtù morale. The work is largely indebted to Aristotle's moral works, but other Aristotelian…
The anonymous work, probably written at the end of the 16th c., is a paraphrase of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics which covers all the 10 books. Some of the books have specific titles.

The text is a sort of paraphrase of Aristotle's Ethics divided into 5 books. As confirmed by Frati and Segarizzi 1909: I, 291, the work is not simply a translation, but a treatise very based on the Nicomachean Ethics.
As stated by Frati and Segarizzi in regards to ms. Venice, BNM, It. II.2, the compendium is not the same as Taddeo Alderotti's (Frati and Segarizzi 1909: 192). This is - at least for the moment - the only extant witness for such work. The text is…
The anonymous treatise opens with general references to Aristotle's Metaphysics and Ethics in order to criticise the idea that God might be angry and, hence, imperfect. Other references to the Aristotelian notion of virtue follows; other sources…
The anonymous compendium follow the general structure of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics as well as the division in 10 books. The work is completed by a short summary of the Ethics.
