Political treatise written in 1513 and dedicated to Lorenzo de' Medici.

For those interested in political philosophy, history of thought, and Renaissance classics.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was a Florentine diplomat, author, philosopher, and historian who lived during the Italian Renaissance. He is best known for his political treatise The Prince, written around 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after his death. He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy and political science.
