The Compendio de i morali d'Aristotele is much more than a compendium of the Ethics, as it appears just looking at the very small number of pages. After a brief definition of soul, will and virtue, the author distinguishes between intellectual…

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.

The anonymous compendium of Aristotle's Politics might be dated around 1598 (the text is followed in the ms. Rome, BVall, R 55 by a document copied by the same hand in 1598). An other copy of the work, copied by the same scribe, but in a more cursive…

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 translation of the Economics is witnessed by a manuscript (Venice, BNM, It. II.134) in which the text appears as part of a compilation including a compendium of the Ethics (largely coinciding with Taddeo Alderotti's) and vernacular…

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 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.

The short work is a collection of sentences from the pseudo-Aristotelian Letters. In the ms. Bologna, BU, 3658 it is copied within a miscellaneous collection of moral works including Cecco d'Ascoli's Acerba and the famous Fiore di virtù.

The anonymous translator (who presents himself as a pupil of Agostino Nifo) dedicates his version of Aristotle's Physiognomy - which is translated into Italian from Latin, as stated in the preface - to an unnamed ruler. The translator refers to the…

The anonymous discorso on justice is basically based on Aristotle, though the text refers to other philosophers such as Plato; an interesting reference to Donato Acciaiuoli as an interpreter of Aristotle is made (f. 116r).

The treatise focuses on virtues from a christian perspective. It is nevertheless largely indebted to the Aristotelian treatment of virtues in the Ethics.

The two treatises form a sort of compendium of ethics and rhetoric slavishly based on Aristotle's works.

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 short notes by an anonymous scholar deal with a passage from Aristotle's Ethics, book 2, but refer to other passages as well.

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 treatise, divided into 6 books, does not refer explicitly to its sources, but plainly reveals an Aristotelian frame.

The anonymous treatise, which might date from the second half of the 17th c., fits in with the wide tradition of works dealing with the notions of politics and ragion di stato. The text opens with a sort of preamble which explicitly draws from…
