Moralia

An early example is the dedication miniature from an eleventh-century manuscript of St. Gregory's Moralia in Job.

Henry More, in his Enchiridion ethicum, attempts to enumerate the "noemata moralia"; but, so far from being self-evident, most of his moral axioms are open to serious controversy.

Impressed by Horkheimer's book of aphorisms, Dawn and Decline, Adorno began working on his own book of aphorisms, what would later become Minima Moralia.

In addition to the aphorisms which conclude Dialectic of Enlightenment, Adorno put together a collection of aphorisms in honor of Horkheimer's fiftieth birthday that would later be published as Minima Moralia: Reflections from Damaged Life.

It can be found in the appendix to Plutarch’s Parallel Lives as well as in various Moralia manuscripts, most prominently in Maximus Planudes’s edition where Galba and Otho appear as “Opera” XXV and XXVI.

Many of these dialogues were recorded and published, and the 78 essays and other works which have survived are now known collectively as the Moralia.

Moralia 347C Lucian of Samosata (2nd century AD) also gives the story, but names the runner Philippides (not Pheidippides).

One of his most important works is the "Why Pythia does not give oracles in verse" (Moralia 11) ( "Περὶ τοῦ μὴ χρᾶν ἔμμετρα νῦν τὴν Πυθίαν").

The complete Moralia was first translated into English from the original Greek by Philemon Holland in 1603.

The Greek word occurs in Plutarch 's (1st century AD) essay on "Fraternal Love" in his Moralia (2.490b).

The Moralia is also included in the Loeb series, translated by various authors.
