We will present the relationship between the manuscript British Library, Harley 3305, owned by Enyego D’Àvalos, and the Spanish translation of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics by Charles from Aragon, Prince of Viana, during his stay at the Neapolitan court of Alfons el Magnànim between 1457 and 1458. The study of the critical loci of Bruni’s nova translatio copied in the Harley manuscript 3305 will lead us to rule out the possibility that it is the Latin model of the version written by the Prince of Viana.
