- Notes:
- The Ethica is translated by Carlos, Prince of Viana, from the Latin of Leonardo Bruni; the translations of the "Politica" and "Oeconomica" are anonymous. Cf. Palau y Dulcet.
- Attribution of Oeconomica to Aristotle is now considered spurious. It was probably the work of some later writer of the Peripatetic school.
