First Belgian edition
of this treatise advising the rulers how to govern, especially
principalities, consisting in quotes from Greek, Latin, pagan and christian authors connected
together with Lipsius' text. He was severely attacked, among others by the Dutch philosopher
and theologian Dirck Coornhert (1522-1590), for telling that a government should only
recognise one religion and punish dissent by fire and sword. Work first published in 1589 and
very often reprinted.
