Notes
Imprint from colophon., "Secretum secretorum" was falsely believed to have been written by Aristotle for Alexander the Great.. The Latin text of Secretum secretorum was first translated from the Arabic "Kitab Sirr al-asrar" by Philip of Tripoli, early in the thirteenth century., "Secretum secretorum" has been spuriously attributed to Aristotle. Work is a medieval treatise taking the form of a pseudoepigraphical letter supposedly from Aristotle to Alexander the Great during his campaigns in Persia. First Latin translation was issued in 12th century based on a 10th century Arabic encyclopedic treatise called "Kitab Sirr al-asrar" discussing a wide range of topics, including statecraft, ethics, physiognomy, astrology, alchemy, magic and medicine, Translated by Giouanni Manente., Signatures: *⁴ A-2F⁴., Leaf number XLI repeated in foliation., Title printed in frame within decorative floral border., Woodcut vignette on recto of leaf *2 title page has text "Iustus ut palma florebit"; printer's device in colophon identified as Vaccaro 418 in EDIT 16., "Moralita" appears to be a paraphrase of Ethica Nicomachea and the "Phisionomia" based in part on Roger Bacon's version of Secretum secretorum Cf. Riley.
