Abstract

The Spanish scholar Diego Hurtado de Mendoza possessed the second volume of Aristotle’s editio Erasmiana, printed in Basel by Johann Bebel (1531; Real Biblioteca del Monasterio de El Escori-al, Escor. 25.III.11). This printed book contains some Greek variants and Latin notes added in the margins by Hurtado de Mendoza, principally on the text of Eth. Nic. I and Polit. I-II. Three other contemporary Greek hands appear in the margins of this book at a various extent; one of them can be tentatively attributed to Arnoldus Arlenius. The content of Hurtado’s notes reveals an attention to some of the principal Aristotelian subjects and a particular interest in the more traditional Latin exegesis (Cicero, Thomas of Aquinas).
