Written between 1440 and 1459, the Summa moralis was the most extensive work on moral theology produced up to its time. Part I is concerned with the soul and its faculties, the passions, sin and the law; Part II analyzes the different kinds of sin, restitution, vows and infidelity. The text draws extensively on the works of earlier theologians, especially Thomas Aquinas, but also provides significant evidence for the society, customs and economic life of the fifteenth century.
