Descrizione

The article contains a reconstruction of the fortune of Ulrich of Strasbourg’s De summo bono in Tuscany during the fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries. This study reveals a massive influence of the German medieval philosophy on the Italian Reinassance thought. Despite Scholars agreeing that ethics was a subject of extreme interest in the Italian Renaissance, the impact of Albert the Great and Ulrich of Strasbourg on the ethical debate in Tuscany is almost completely neglected. However, Bartholomew of S. Concordio, Bernardino of Siena and Antoninus of Florence widely quoted Ulrich in their works. On the one hand, Ulrich’s ethical doctrines were simplified and vulgarized, thus making Ulrich’s ethical discussion accessible to unspecialized and illiterate readers. On the other hand, Ulrich established himself as one of the most influential authorities on moral philosophy, canon law and economics.
