Nicomachean Ethics
Herman the German was the bishop of Astorga (1266 – 1272). He was a personal friend of Manfred of Sicily. His place of birth is unknown, but it is known that he was an important figure in Castile's intellectual life before being appointed Bishop. He is credited with translating "Nicomachean Ethics" by Aristotle in 1240, "Rhetoricoric" by Averroes, and the commentaries of Alfarabi regarding the "Rhetoric" of Aristotle. Herman also wrote his own philosophical commentary and summary of the Nicomachean Ethics
