Nuño de Guzmán, Alfonso de Cartagena, Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle, Vernacular HumanismAbstract
The composition of the fifteenth-century epitome of Nicomachean Ethics has been illegitimately attributed to Alfonso de Cartagena and to Nuño de Guzmán. The attribution to the Bishop of Burgos is reflected in the incipit of the MSS/Cambridge University add. 8275, Madrid BNE 1204 and Vatican BAV Ottob. lat. 2054; whereas the authorship of Nuño de Guzmán has been deduced from his introduction to the MSS/Oxford, Bodleian Library Span.d.1. In order to reject both attributions, we will analyze the introduction of the epitome and claim that its origin is Aragonese. Finally, in order to assess the quality of Guzman’s interventions, an inventory of the corrections and interpolations and a list of omissions will be provided.
