The Influence of Aristotle on Ethics

Renaissance humanists were interested in Aristotle's ethics. Is it just a sub-phenomenon of humanism that they are so interested in the text? I think we have to consider this more in the context of the very long commentary tradition, including Byzantine commentaries and Albert the Great Thomas Aquinas. So I think it's partly a different self approach because they're wanting to read Aristotle in new translations that are more fluent than the older ones,. can appeal to people who haven't necessarily studied at university or want to follow virtue.
