L'Ethica d' Aristotile

Aristotle, Torrentino, Lorenzo, d. 1563, printer, Neufeld, Philip, donor · 1550 · Firenze : Lorenzo Torrentino · 29 pictures

L'Ethica d' Aristotile is a 1550 Italian edition of Aristotle's ethics printed in Florence by Lorenzo Torrentino, a moral philosophy text for scholars and readers of Italian. Its pictures are woodcut historiated initials, each letter framed by a scene of riders and combat, with short Italian maxims in circles beside them; a designer might take the compact framed-initial format and the rhythm of text-plus-emblem panels.
