The explanation of temperantia and continentia by Alfonso de Cartagena as shown in the Memoriale virtutum of 1422 is—to a large extent—a reflection of the Thomist treatment of the subject, but also faithfully reflects some of the most persistent theoretical convictions of the author, for example in relation to the necessary predominance of ratio and voluntas in behavior; it reemerges in his later works in much less scholastic terms and belongs to the philosophical and literary debate of the time around the natural predisposition of the individual towards virtue and vice.
