 Aristotle’s Politics was translated into Latin for the first time in the mid-1260s by William of Moerbeke (Schütrumpf 2014) (An incomplete translation had been made a few years earlier, possibly by Moerbeke, and the Nicomachean Ethics, some parts of which relate to politics, had been translated by  Robert Grosseteste  a little earlier.) Although the Politics did not become part of the core curriculum, it was closely studied by many of the leading philosophers of the scholastic period (Flüeler 1993). Notable commentaries on the Politics were written by Thomas Aquinas and Peter of  Auvergne.[38]  Ockham drew on their commentaries to give a clear and concise summary of Aristotle’s political theory (William of Ockham [c. 1334] Letter: 133–143; Lambertini 2000: 269ff.). (For a modern account of the work see the entry on  Aristotle’s political theory.)
