About the work

Written in 1513 by a Florentine official who had just lost his post, The Prince is a short treatise on how states are won, kept and lost. It draws on ancient history and on the Italy of Cesare Borgia, Julius II and Louis XII, and raises questions still debated: is it better to be loved or feared? Should a ruler keep his word? How far does fortune govern human affairs?

This edition prints W. K. Marriott’s English translation (1908), with 33 notes on the people, places and examples the text takes for granted, an editor’s introduction and a chronology.
