About This Book

The author presents a practical guide to moral duty, distinguishing honorable conduct from merely useful actions and offering principles for resolving conflicts between them. Arranged in three parts, the work outlines general ethical maxims, duties owed to family and community, and examples of honorable behavior in public and private life, illustrated with historical examples and philosophical argument. Drawing on Greek ethical traditions while favoring pragmatic judgment, the text advises on justice, fidelity, and civic responsibility, aiming to translate philosophical ideals into concrete rules for conduct and decision-making.

Editio Princeps: The first edition of the de Officiis was from the press of Sweynheim and Pannartz at the Monastery of Subiaco; possibly the edition published by Fust and Schöffer at Mainz is a little older. Both appeared in 1465. The latter was the first to print the Greek words in Greek type. The de Officiis is, therefore, the first classical book to be issued from a printing press, with the possible exception of Lactantius and Cicero's de Oratore which bear the more exact date of October 30, 1465, and were likewise issued from the Monastery press at Subiaco.
