manuscript
written
in
Erfurt
,
1365
.
Aristotle
who
lived
in the
fourth
century
B.C.
, had a
profound
effect
on
medieval
thought
. He
became
'the
philosopher
' and his
word
came
to be
regarded
as
comparable
in
weight
to the
Bible
.
Papal
prohibitions
against
'
reading
' the
treatises
in the
universities
were
disregarded
and
later
withdrawn
.
Soon
an
intimate
knowledge
of
Aristotelian
writings
frequently
became
the
only
requirement
for the
degree
of
Master
of
Arts
. Of
all
these
works
by
one
of the
world's
greatest
thinkers
the
Nichomachean
Ethics
has the
greatest
value
to us
today
and
is
the
most
likely
to
survive
. This
masterpiece
of
Greek
literature
,
named
after
the
son
of the
philosopher
to
whom
it
was
dedicated
,
offers
logical
explanation
of
all
aspects
of
human
behavior
. In
it
Aristotle
maintains
that the
chief
human
good
and the
end
of
life
is
happiness
,
(well
being)
, and that this
consists
in
virtuous
activity
, the
highest
form
of
which
is
contemplation
. This
manuscript
page
was
written
in
Erfurt
,
Germany
, in
year
1365
A.D.
,
thirteen
years
before
the
great
university
was
founded
in that
small
city
. This
University
of
Erfurt
was the
first
in
Germany
to
introduce
into its
curriculum
the
study
of
classic
literature
and the
humanities
. The
casual
and
natural
cursive
writing
,
done
hastily
,
no
doubt
by a
secular
writer
,
is
in
sharp
contrast
to the
handsome
and
leisurely
executed
book-hands
we
usually
find
in the
work
of the
monastic
scribes.”
