Pedro Sanchez de Acre, “moral philosopher”
Abstract
Pedro Sanchez de Acre, born at the beginning of the 16th century, was a prebendary of the cathedral of Toledo. He wrote three books about moral philosophy: Tree of Consultation and Varied Teaching in 1584, Moral and Philosophical History in 1590 and Triangle of the Three Theological Virtues in 1595.
These three books, representative of Miscellany (the Miscellaneous), one of the most editorially successful literary genres of the 16th century, have become completely unknown with the passing of time. Besides the rare quotation, used mostly in writings of a bibliographic nature, the presence of these books in Spanish philosophy is almost nonexistent
