Zusammenfassung:In 'Alfonso de Cartagena?s 'Memoriale virtutum' (1422)' María Morrás and Jeremy Lawrance offer a new edition from the manuscripts of a compilation of Aristotle?s 'Nicomachean Ethics' addressed by the major Castilian intellectual of the day, bishop Alfonso de Cartagena, to the heir to the throne of Portugal, crown prince Duarte.0The work was a 'speculum principis', an education for the future king in the virtues suitable to a statesman; Cartagena?s choice of Aristotle was thus a significant index of the advent of new Renaissance ideas. This edition shows how the "memorial" throws light on the ideological transformation of society those ideas would bring, setting new ethical guidelines for the ruling class at the crossroads between medieval feudalism and Renaissance absolutism.
