Art of Ethics (based on Christianity)
Sins of Man / Knowledge of Man in Dutch.
By D.V Coornhert

Dirck Volckertszoon Coornhert (1522 – 1590), also known as Theodore Cornhert, was a Dutch writer, philosopher, translator, politician, theologian, and artist. Coornhert is often considered the Father of Dutch Renaissance scholarship.

In addition to the 1566 manifesto, Coornhert wrote a treatise against the capital punishment of heretics, a pamphlet defending the rebellion of the United Provinces, a preface to the Dutch grammar published by the Society of Rhetoricians of Amsterdam, and several poems, including, according to some, the popular song, Wilhelmus van Nassouwe. Others, however, attributed it to Philip van Marnix. In 1586, he produced his original masterpiece, the Zedekunst ("Art of Ethics").
