Ms. Codex 1079 - [Von den Tugenden] This manuscript features a treatise on the cultivation of virtue and avoidance of sin within the framework of Christian teachings, divided into two books, with the first book, in three sections, addressing the three Christian virtues faith, hope and love; and the second book, in four sections, discussing the cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. In each instance an explication of the virtue itself is followed by a detailed consideration of the various kinds of sins that constitute a failure of that virtue. Interposed between the closing rubric of the treatise and the beginning of the table of contents is a guide on how to properly make one’s confession. It was possibly written in Germany in 1433 CE.Do you want to know more? Click here! Or here for the facsimile. -- source link
