Abstract

The presence of Aristotle (principally the Nicomachean Ethics) in the Doctrinal de caballeros of Alfonso de Cartagena c. 1444; four works by Diego de Valera created in the course of four decades especially the Doctrinal de príncipes for Fernando of Aragon, the future Catholic Monarch; the Corona regum of Joan Margarit, c. 1468 and also dedicated to Fernando; and the Exhortación o información de buena y sana doctrina compiled by Pedro de Chinchilla c. 1467 for the young Alfonso XII. All these treatises de regimine principum draw on Aristotle, either directly or via florilegia, and differ in their treatment of the text.
