Even though the character of Augustine’s mother, Monnica, has been studied from different angles, the students of the Confessions have not paid much attention to a curious image of her standing before the tribunal of God, which appears in Augustine’s prayer after her death. This short scene, which could be called the “trial of Monnica” is a carefully created passage, in which Augustine juxtaposes Pagan and Christian ethical ideas, probably alluding to Socrates’ trial and confronting the Christian attitude of his mother to that of the greatest of ancient sages. Augustine argues that Monnica should not respond to the Devil’s accusations and should not try to defend herself, because that would make her salvation impossible. On the contrary, abandoning of defense and loving trust in God’s mercy can save her soul from eternal damnation. This attitude is contrary to the proud self-defense of Socrates, who emphasized his innocence and moral perfection. Augustine’s image of Monnica before the court of God is an  expression of his idea of original sin and of human inability to achieve virtue without God’s grace, which is a significant break with the Pagan ethical tradition. The end of Book Nine is also an intriguing combination of such elements as the traditional idea of old age as the time of assessing one’s life, Roman rhetorical and judicial tradition, and integration of Biblical and philosophical truths into an original, influential Augustinian synthesis.

Der Beitrag schildert die Erwägungen zur Habsucht als Laster, welche in dem 1609 in Leipzig erschienenen Werk Aristotelis de virtutibus libellus von Franz Tidicaeus, dem zeitgenössischen Professor des Akademischen Gymnasiums in Thorn, veröffentlicht wurden. Das Werk des Thorner Gelehrten enthält eine gründliche und gelehrte Exegese des Beitrags des Aristoteles Über die Tugenden und Laster. Der Vergleich des uns interessierenden Abschnittes des Kommentars mit dem Inhalt von drei ethischen Traktaten des Aristoteles lässt keinen Zweifel daran, dass die Erläuterungen Tidicaeus’ über das genannte Laster die Morallehre des griechischen Vorgängers widerspiegeln und als Ausgangspunkt und zugleich das grundlegende Ziel seiner Erwägungen gelten.

The aim of this study is to present the reflections on greed as a moral flaw, which were included in the Aristotelis de virtutibus libellus of Franciscus Tidicaeus, then professor of the Academic Gymnasium in Toruń, published in 1609 in Leipzig. The work of the Toruń scholar contains an insightful and erudite exegesis of the essay On Virtues and Vices, preserved under the name of Aristotle. A comparison of the part of commentary we are interested in with the material contained in Aristotle’s three ethical treatises leaves no doubt that Tidicaeus’ remarks on this flaw reflect the moral teaching of his predecessor, constituting the starting point and at the same time the main goal of his arguments.

Celem niniejszego opracowania jest przedstawienie rozważań na temat chciwości jako wady moralnej, które znalazły się w opublikowanym w roku 1609 w Lipsku Aristotelis de virtutibus libellus Franciszka Tidicaeusa, ówczesnego profesora Gimnazjum Akademickiego w Toruniu. Dzieło toruńskiego uczonego zawiera wnikliwą i pełną erudycji egzegezę zachowanej pod imieniem Arystotelesa rozprawki O cnotach i wadach. Porównanie interesującej nas partii komentarza z materiałem zawartym w trzech traktatach etycznych Arystotelesa nie pozostawia wątpliwości, że uwagi Tidicaeusa na temat wspomnianej wady odzwierciedlają naukę moralną greckiego poprzednika, stanowiąc punkt wyjścia, a zarazem zasadniczy cel prowadzonych przezeń wywodów.
