Translation by Sylvestre Tellio of Machiavelli's famous political "The Prince". Perhaps
published in Bale by Pierre Perna like the two previous 1580 editions or in Montbéliard by
Jakob Foillet as suggested by VD16.
Accompanied as usually with the anonymous influential Huguenot tract "Vindiciae contra
tyrannos" (1
st
ed. : 1579) of which the authorship is uncertain but is usually attributed to
Théodore de Bèze, Hubert Languet or more probably to Philippe de Mornay. This work
published in the Wake of the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre studies the response of
the people to their king through four questions (Are they used to obey? Can they resist
to their king when he breaks the divine law? When he breaks the commonwealth? Can
foreign princes legally support a popular rising against a king?). With the full-page portrait of
Machiavelli at the end and ornemental initial letters.
