Septebris. y10r; printer's register y10r. Wood cut diagrams. The first Latin translations of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics the Ethica vetus and the Ethica nova are the object of six commentaries from the first half of the thirteenth century presumably written by Parisian arts masters. Typical for these early commentaries is the interpretation of Aristotle's doctrine in the light of Christian religion. In 1246/1248 Robert Grosseteste achieved a complete translation of the Nicomachean Ethics. The first to write commentaries on it were Albert the Great twice and Thomas Aquinas. Both attempted to interpret Aristotle philosophically avoiding the theological implications. Burley turned to moral philosophy and varia rather late in his life completing his exposition of Aristotle's Ethics in 1333-1334 and of the Politics in 1340-1343.</p><p>¶There are two printed editions of this work the one offered here is the second the first is quite rare-Goff B 1300 3 copies Harvardand St Bonaventure Univ. and University of Penn</p><p>¶The copy offered today is also rare- Goff B1301 3 copies</p><p>Free Library of Philadelphia Newberry Library U. of Illinois.</p><p>Goff; B-1301 ; BM 15th cent.; V 576 IB. 24667; GW; 5779; ; Hain-Copinger; 4144; Harman; 191; ISTC online; ib01301000; Proctor; 5269; Pellechet; 3080</p><p>.</p> Venice: Simon de Luere for Andreas Torresanus, 4 September 1500 hardcover
