Jacques Almain was a prominant theologian and rector at Paris 1507-1508. The "Moralia" focuses on the acquistion of human virtues, assigning theological virtues solely to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, touching on issues like human will, whether ignorance is sin, faith, moral actions and corruption.
