No full textThis article presents a study of two coeval works on morals: the first belongs to the classic
Persian tradition, the Golestān (The Rose Garden) by Saʿdi (Shirāz 1210–91 or 1292);
the second, Il libro de’ vizî e delle virtudi (Book of Vices and Virtues) by Bono Giamboni
(Florence 1240–92), belongs to the first didactic prose in vernacular Italian. The study
will specially concern the theme of temperance تعانق qanāʿat, central to both Islamic
and Christian morals. An analysis is made of passages dedicated to this theme in both
texts, also through comparative observations, in order to identify the approach
characteristic to each work
