&lt;45&gt; Del compendio della scientia / civile. Cap. 1. / Origine, defenitione et soggetto / de la scientia civile. &lt;inc&gt; La prima maraviglia che nasce negli animi di coloro che contemplano la conditione humana con ragione si può giudicar quella com'esser possi che l'anima nostra creata da Dio pura e candida ne la patria del Cielo tranquilla e serena, ardisca con periglioso peregrinaggio scender di Cielo in terra e costituirsi prigioniera nel carcere mortale del nostro corpo vile, oscuro, e tenebroso. &lt;239&gt; &lt;expl&gt; Questa è la strada e questo è il modo et arte con la quale l'animo peregrino libero dal carcere terreno, squarciata la rozza e squallida scorza de vitii, illustrato da splendor di vera virtù et resosi per quanto gli è concesso simile a Dio, sale al cielo, ove è conosciuto per generosa prole del creatore e come tale è dichiarato cittadino del cielo e costituito herede de i beni del supremo Padre, e questo è il fine felice del suo peregrinaggio. Piaccia a la divina bontà che di noi così sia. Il fine.

Piacci a la divina bontà che di noi così sia. Il fine.</text>

              <text>&lt;1r-23v&gt; Francesco Piccolomini, [Institutione del principe] &lt;1r-v&gt; &lt;epistle to Cosimo II Medici&gt; Al Serenissimo Cosmo Medici Gran / Principe de i Toscani Signor Colendissimo. &lt;inc&gt; All'usanza de vecchi pigro e tardo vengo a pagare il debito della promessa fatta a V.A. già due mesi sono, e mi consolo col proverbio, meglio è tardo, che mai. Hor come sia ecco che un piccol huomo, come a dire un nano o pigmeo con animo nondimeno grande e sublime gli presenta insieme se stesso et un breve discorso dell'institutione. &lt;expl&gt; Tale adunque quale è lo presente a V.A., assicurandomi, che come con animo grato accolse il libro delle definizioni a lei poco avanti dedicato, così aggradirà questo breve discorso, in conformatione del dono all'hora fattoli di me stesso; e con tal fine senza fine inchinandomi prima a Madama Serenissima poi a V.A. a la lor buona gratia mi raccomando. Di V.A.S. Humilissimo et devotiss. Vassallo e servitore Francesco Piccolomini già filosofo hora spoglia del tempo e di natura.

&lt;2r&gt; Che cosa sia Institutione. Cap. I. &lt;inc&gt; Si mostra male instituito chiunque ragionando dell'institutione non dichiara prima che cosa ella sia, di quante sorti sia, da quai principii penda et a chi convenga: onde per non incorrere in tal sospitione dichiarando prima che cosa ella sia, dico, in tutte le operationi humane due cose principalmente considerarsi: una è il fine, l'altra sono i mezzi ordenati a tal fine. &lt;23v&gt; &lt;expl&gt; Il servire a Principe regio e regnare. Regna dunque il popolo toscano, mentre con fede serve al suo regio principe, al quale con molta umiltà m'inchino. Il fine.

&lt;23v-112r&gt; Francesco Piccolomini, Del compendio della scienza civile &lt;23v&gt; Ombra del compendio de la filosofia morale, adombrato da M. Francesco Piccolomini ombra di filosofo. / Alla serenissima madama Christina Granduchessa de i Toscani vivo esempio d'esso. &lt;24r&gt; Del compendio della scienza civile. / Cap. I. / Origine, definitione e soggetto de la scienza civile. &lt;inc&gt; La prima maraviglia che nasce negl'animi di coloro che contemplano la conditione humana, con ragione si può giudicar quella come esser possi che l'anima nostra creata da Dio pura e candida nella patria del Cielo, tranquilla e serena, ardisca con periglioso peregrinaggio scendere di Cielo in terra e constituirsi prigioniera nel carcere mortale del nostro corpo vile, oscuro, e tenebroso? &lt;112&gt; &lt;expl&gt; Questa è la strada e questo è il modo et arte con la quale l'animo pellegrino libero dal carcere terreno, squarciata la rozza e sordida scorza de i vitii, illustrato dal splendore di vera virtù et resosi per quanto gl'è concesso simile a Dio, sale al cielo, ove è conosciuto per generosa prole del creatore e come tale è dichiarato cittadino del cielo e constituito herede de i beni del supremo Padre. E questo è il fine felice del suo peregrinaggio. Piaccia a la divina bontà che di noi così sia. Il fine.

&lt;6r-109r&gt; DE COMPENDIO DE LA SCIENZA / CIVILE CAP. 1. / Ordine, definizione et soggetto di essa. &lt;inc&gt; La prima maraviglia che nasce in quelli che contemplano la condizione humana, con ragione si può giudicar quella, come accader possi che l'anima nostra, creata da Dio pura et candida ne la Patria celeste tranquilla et serena, ardisca con periglioso peregrinaggio scender di cielo in terra, et constituirsi come prigioniera nel carcere del nostro corpo, oscuro et tenebroso. &lt;expl&gt; ma nei depravati et perversi quelle che per ordine del principe sono ordenate è necessario che sieno triste, per che mentre si torce dal buon fine, è necessario che anco si torca dal dritto sentiero, quale al buon fin ne conduce. 

&lt;109r-110r&gt; Epilogo del libro. &lt;inc&gt; Ecco, serenissima Madama, come quella seconda maraviglia proposta nel principio del mio ragionamento è sciolta et risoluta, quale era come occorrer possi che l'animo nostro peregrino, lontano da la sua patria celeste, rinchiuso in questo carcer terreno, ignudo de gl'habiti di virtù, deviato dai sensi, sommerso nei falsi piaceri, possi haver forza et trovar strada di ritornare al cielo. &lt;expl&gt; illustrato da splendor divino, et resosi per quanto gl'è licito simile a Dio, così puro, netto e mondo et armato con lo scudo de la santa fede, può salire al cielo, ove sarà conosciuto per generosa prole del creatore et come tale sarà dichiarato cittadino del cielo, et herede dei beni paterni con felice fine del suo fadigoso et periglioso viaggio. Piacci a la divina bontà che di noi così sia. Il fine.

&lt;3r-38v&gt; Che cosa sia instituzione et a chi convenga. Cap. I. &lt;inc&gt; Si dimostra male instituito quello che ragionando dell'Instituzione non dichiara prima che cosa ella sia, di quante sorti sia, da che principio penda, et a chi convenga, onde per non incorrere in tal sospizione, dichiarando prima che cosa ella sia, dico in tutte le operazioni humane due cose principalmente considerarsi, l'una è il fine, l'altra le ordenate al fine. &lt;expl&gt; Il servire a principe regio e regnare, regna adonque il popolo toscano, mentre con fede serve al suo regio principe, al quale con molta humiltà m'inchino.

2.Al gran principe di Toscana più ch'ad altri convenirsi la retta instituzione.

7.Quanto dal precedente discorso si deve raccogliere per l'instituzion del principe.
8.Condizioni dell'huomo, da considerarsi per la instituzione di esso.
9.Condizioni del principe regio.
10.Condizioni di chi desidera esser bene instituito.

Beautiful copy of Francesco Piccolomini's Instituzione; the dedication letter is copied by a different hand, possibly the author's (cf. Siena, BC, G.VII.36). The main text is copied by a calligraphic hand, cursive but clearly legible. The manuscript contains only the Instituzione and not the Compendio della scienza civile. </text>

              <text>&lt;1r-2v&gt; Al Serenissimo Cosmo Medici Gran Prencipe di Toscana Signore Colendissimo. &lt;inc&gt; All'usanza dei vecchi, pigro e tardo, vengo a pagare il debito dela promessa fatta a V.A. già due mesi sono, e mi consolo col proverbio, meglio è tardi, che mai. &lt;expl&gt; così aggradirà questo bene discorso in confirmatione del dono alhora fattoli di me stesso. E con tal fine senza fine inchinandomi prima a Madama Serenissima poi a V.A. a la lor buona gratia mi raccomando. Di V.A. Serenissima Humilissimo e devotissimo servitore e vassallo Francesco Piccolomini già filosofo, hora spoglia del tempo e di natura. 

&lt;3r-38v&gt; &lt;Institutione&gt; Che cosa sia Institutione. &lt;inc&gt; Si mostra male instituito chiunque ragionando dell'Institutione non dichiara prima che cosa ella sia, di quante sorti sia, da quai principii penda, et a chi convenga. &lt;expl&gt; Il servire a principe regio è regnare: regna adunque il populo toscano, mentre con fede serve al suo regio Principe, al quale con molta humiltà m'inchino. Il fine. 

&lt;39r-196v&gt; &lt;Compendio&gt; Del compendio de la scientia civile. Cap. 1. Origine, definitione et soggetto de la scientia civile. &lt;inc&gt; La prima maraviglia, che nasce negli animi di coloro che contemplano la conditione humana con ragione si può giudicare quella, com'esser possi che l'anima nostra creata da Dio pura e candida nella patria del cielo tranquilla e serena, ardisca con periglioso peregrinaggio scender di cielo in terra &lt;expl&gt; ov'è conosciuto per generosa prole del creatore, e come tale è dichiarato cittadino del cielo, e costituito herede de beni del supremo padre. E questo è il fine felice del suo peregrinaggio. Piaccia alla divina bontà che di noi così sia. Il fine.

Hor come sia ecco che un piccol huomo, come a dire un nano o pigmeo con animo nondimeno grande e sublime gli presenta insieme se stesso et un breve discorso dell'institutione. &lt;expl&gt; Tale adunque qual è lo presente a V.A., assicurandomi, che come con animo grato accolse il libro delle difinitioni a lei poco avanti dedicato, così aggradirà questo breve discorso, in confermatione del dono alhora fattoli di me stesso. E con tal fine senza fine inchinandomi prima a Madama Ser.ma poi a V.A. a la lor buona gratia raccomando. Di V.A.S. / Humilissimo et devotiss. Servitore e Vassallo / Francesco Piccolomini già filosofo hora spo- / glia del tempo, di natura.

&lt;3-44&gt; Che cosa sia Institutione. &lt;inc&gt; Si mostra male instituito chiunque ragionando dell'institutione non dichiara prima che cosa ella sia, di quante sorte sia, da quai principii penda et a chi convenga. Onde per non incorrere in tal sospitione, dichiarando prima che cosa ella sia, dico, in tutte le operationi humane due cose principalmente considerarsi: una è il fine, l'altra sono i mezzi ordinati a tal fine. &lt;expl&gt; Il servire a Principe regio è regnare. Regna adunque il populo toscano, mentre con fede serve al suo regio principe, al quale con molta umiltà m'inchino. Il fine.

              <text>&lt;1r-23v&gt; Francesco Piccolomini, [Institutione del principe] &lt;1r-v&gt; &lt;epistle&gt; Al Serenissimo Cosmo Medici Gran / Principe de i Toscani Signor Colendissimo. &lt;inc&gt; All'usanza de vecchi pigro e tardo vengo a pagare il debito della promessa fatta a V.A. già due mesi sono, e mi consolo col proverbio, meglio è tardo, che mai. Hor come sia ecco che un piccol huomo, come a dire un nano o pigmeo con animo nondimeno grande e sublime gli presenta insieme se stesso et un breve discorso dell'institutione. &lt;expl&gt; Tale adunque quale è lo presente a V.A., assicurandomi, che come con animo grato accolse il libro delle definizioni a lei poco avanti dedicato, così aggradirà questo breve discorso, in conformatione del dono all'hora fattoli di me stesso; e con tal fine senza fine inchinandomi prima a Madama Serenissima poi a V.A. a la lor buona gratia mi raccomando. Di V.A.S. Humilissimo et devotiss. Vassallo e servitore Francesco Piccolomini già filosofo hora spoglia del tempo e di natura.

&lt;2r&gt; Che cosa sia Institutione. Cap. I. &lt;inc&gt; Si mostra male instituito chiunque ragionando dell'institutione non dichiara prima che cosa ella sia, di quante sorti sia, da quai principii penda et a chi convenga: onde per non incorrere in tal sospitione dichiarando prima che cosa ella sia, dico, in tutte le operationi humane due cose principalmente considerarsi: una è il fine, l'altra sono i mezzi ordenati a tal fine. &lt;23v&gt; &lt;expl&gt; Il servire a Principe regio e regnare. Regna dunque il popolo toscano, mentre con fede serve al suo regio principe, al quale con molta umiltà m'inchino. Il fine.

&lt;23v-112r&gt; Francesco Piccolomini, Del compendio della scienza civile &lt;23v&gt; Ombra del compendio de la filosofia morale, adombrato da M. Francesco Piccolomini ombra di filosofo. / Alla serenissima madama Christina Granduchessa de i Toscani vivo esempio d'esso. &lt;24r&gt; Del compendio della scienza civile. / Cap. I. / Origine, definitione e soggetto de la scienza civile. &lt;inc&gt; La prima maraviglia che nasce negl'animi di coloro che contemplano la conditione humana, con ragione si può giudicar quella come esser possi che l'anima nostra creata da Dio pura e candida nella patria del Cielo, tranquilla e serena, ardisca con periglioso peregrinaggio scendere di Cielo in terra e constituirsi prigioniera nel carcere mortale del nostro corpo vile, oscuro, e tenebroso? &lt;112&gt; &lt;expl&gt; Questa è la strada e questo è il modo et arte con la quale l'animo pellegrino libero dal carcere terreno, squarciata la rozza e sordida scorza de i vitii, illustrato dal splendore di vera virtù et resosi per quanto gl'è concesso simile a Dio, sale al cielo, ove è conosciuto per generosa prole del creatore e come tale è dichiarato cittadino del cielo e constituito herede de i beni del supremo Padre. E questo è il fine felice del suo peregrinaggio. Piaccia a la divina bontà che di noi così sia. Il fine. </text>

              <text>&lt;1r-2v&gt; Al Serenissimo Cosmo Medici Gran Prencipe di Toscana Signore Colendissimo. &lt;inc&gt; All'usanza dei vecchi, pigro e tardo, vengo a pagare il debito dela promessa fatta a V.A. già due mesi sono, e mi consolo col proverbio, meglio è tardi, che mai. &lt;expl&gt; così aggradirà questo bene discorso in confirmatione del dono alhora fattoli di me stesso. E con tal fine senza fine inchinandomi prima a Madama Serenissima poi a V.A. a la lor buona gratia mi raccomando. Di V.A. Serenissima Humilissimo e devotissimo servitore e vassallo Francesco Piccolomini già filosofo, hora spoglia del tempo e di natura. 

&lt;3r-38v&gt; &lt;Institutione&gt; Che cosa sia Institutione. &lt;inc&gt; Si mostra male instituito chiunque ragionando dell'Institutione non dichiara prima che cosa ella sia, di quante sorti sia, da quai principii penda, et a chi convenga. &lt;expl&gt; Il servire a principe regio è regnare: regna adunque il populo toscano, mentre con fede serve al suo regio Principe, al quale con molta humiltà m'inchino. Il fine. 

&lt;39r-196v&gt; &lt;Compendio&gt; Del compendio de la scientia civile. Cap. 1. Origine, definitione et soggetto de la scientia civile. &lt;inc&gt; La prima maraviglia, che nasce negli animi di coloro che contemplano la conditione humana con ragione si può giudicare quella, com'esser possi che l'anima nostra creata da Dio pura e candida nella patria del cielo tranquilla e serena, ardisca con periglioso peregrinaggio scender di cielo in terra &lt;expl&gt; ov'è conosciuto per generosa prole del creatore, e come tale è dichiarato cittadino del cielo, e costituito herede de beni del supremo padre. E questo è il fine felice del suo peregrinaggio. Piaccia alla divina bontà che di noi così sia. Il fine.

                <text>At the age of 81, the Aristotelian philosopher Francesco Piccolomini wrote the Instituzione del principe and the Compendio della scienza civile dedicating the two works respectively to the young prince Cosimo de Medici and to his mother, the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, Cristina di Lorena, wife of Ferdinando I de Medici. The works were not meant to be printed, but had a manuscript circulation which numbers ten extant copies. Though conceived as two different works, the Instituzione and the Compendio were often copied together and presented as a single work divided into two parts. Manuscripts Florence, BRicc 2589 and BNC, Conv. Soppr. E.5.867 probably are the original, partly autograph, dedication copies of the two texts (the dedication to Cosimo is dated 1602 in the BRicc 2589). An other copy, possibly autograph, of the two works is Siena, BCom, G.VII.36. All the other manuscripts (which are calligraphic copies) contain both the Institutione and the Compendio (with the only exception of Siena, BCom, G.VII.47). Whereas the preface letter to Cosimo is always presente, the letter to Cristina is witnessed exclusively by mss. Florence, BRicc 2589 and Siena, BCom, G.VII.47. Whereas the Compendio draws on Aristotle's Ethics  and Politics, the Institutione does not seem to be a strictly Aristotelian work (though the Philosopher is quoted a couple of times). A main point of reference for such works is Piccolomini's Universa philosophia de moribus, even though the author is very clear in stating the differences between scholarly works in Latin and courtly ones in the vernacular.</text>

              <text>&lt;a2r-v&gt; MOLTO ILLVSTRE, / Et Reverendiss. Signore. &lt;inc&gt; Del manco basso metallo, che sia uscito della povera zecca del mio eshausto ingegno, è questo ch'io sborso hora a V.S. Reverendissima in tributo di riverenza, e di affetto. Il nobilissimo nome di Lei, coniato dal diritto di esso, lo farà stimar al pari delle più rare e delle più fine ricchezze, del Pattolo e del Gange. &lt;expl&gt; Gliene dedico (dico) questo solo principio per più rispetti, ma in particolare per corrispondere alla proporzione delle lodi dovute ad essa; delle quali, sì come è facilissimo ritrovare il principio, così impossibile sarebbe trovare il fine. Di V.S. Illust. et Reverendiss. Vero Servitore divotissimo Francesco Pona. 

&lt;p. 5-9&gt; &lt;preamble&gt; DELLE MORALI / Di Aristotele a Nicomaco; / SPIEGATE NELL'ACADEMIA / Filarmonica, / DA FRANCESCO PONA / Medico Filosofo. / Discorso primo. &lt;inc&gt; Fu parere de' Naturali (nobilissimi signori academici) che per generare i figliuoli de esquisita bellezza, si dovesse altri servire di questo sottile artificio; di collocare nella parete, dirimpetto alla Donna nel concepire, qualche vago simulacro di bella giovine, o di vezzoso garzone: che perciò finse Heliodoro al 4. lib. della sua Historia, che Persiana, moglie d'Idaspe re, essendosi giacciuta con lui, mirando in pittura il bianco corpo di Andromeda, partorisse poi (oltre ogni aspettatione) la fanciulla Caricchia, di carnagione bianchissima. &lt;expl&gt; Molte sono l'openioni intorno al soggetto di questa moral dottrina: ma lasciando l'altre, diremo che l'huomo, in quanto può elettivamente operare, sia 'l soggetto di questi libri. Ma scorriamone la inscrittione.

&lt;p. 9-10&gt; Aristotelis Stagiritae Ethicorum ad Nicomachum. Lib. X. &lt;inc&gt; Si dichiara Aristotele per certissimo auttore di questi libri, tutto che alcuni ne dubitassero; fra quali l'eloquentissimo M. Tullio (lib. de finibus), che non a Nicomaco, ma da Nicomaco si persuase che scritti fossero; tuttavia, chi spesso ha per le mani le opere di Aristotele, conoscerà chiaramente, allo stile, all'ordine, alla dottrina, che nissuno può essere tanto simile ad Aristotele, che Aristotele: e che questa non solo è fatica sua, ma ch'è delle più limate, e perfette ch'egli habbia fatto. &lt;expl&gt; per tanto è verisimile che il Filosofo ci aggiungesse il numero di Libri Diece, acciocché se per caso ne fosse stato levato alcuno, o qualche Auttore gli havesse fatto qualche aggiunta, si potesse dallo ascritto numero saperne la verità. Ma accostiamoci alla consideratione del testo.

&lt;p. 10-40&gt; Omnis ars, omnisque doctrina, atque actus; itidem et electio, bonum quoddam appetere videtur. Quapropter bene veteres bonum ipsum id esse dixerunt, quod omnia appetunt. Finium autem, differentia quaedam esse videtur; quidam enim sunt operationes, quidam prater has ipsas opera quaedam etc. Fu costume di Aristotele, nel principiar i suoi libri (ascoltatori gentilissimi) per lo più di pronontiare una universale propositione affermativa, poiché simil propositione è la più efficace e prestante di tutte l'altre, come quella che produce la vera scienza, che si fa col mezo della dimostratione. &lt;expl&gt; Probabilius autem de IPSO videntur dicere Pythagorici; ipsum unum, in Bonorum serie collocantes; quos sequutus videtur, et Speusippus, sed de his quidem alius erit sermo. [...] et il concedere questi beni mediocri è cosa molto consentanea a gli ordini della Natura, la quale non passa mai da un estremo all'altro senza il mezo: dice dunque che per hora parla del Bene in quanto tale assolutamente. Ma per hora basti havere fin qui veduto. La materia è degna di esser ruminata con diligenza. </text>
