Description

Fabio Albergati's Le morali is a treatise on virtues very based on Aristotle's Nicoamachean Ethics. The work was first published in 1627, after Fabio's death (1606), by the author's son, Antonio, bishop of Bisceglie, who dedicated the book to pope Urban VIII, former friend of Albergati. The text is witnessed by the first edition of 1627, a reprint of 1664 and two manuscript copies.
