Description
Antverpiae, ex officina Plantiniana, apud viduam, & Joannem Moretum, 1596. 3 parts in 1 vol. in-8° : [24]-283-[5], [8]-1/79, 81/134-[1] pp. (copy very slightly yellowed, very fresh condition). 17th Century binding : vellum with visible sewing and flaps, flat spine, gauffered edges, ties (partly rubbed, one tie partly lacking, labels stuck on the spine, flyleaves renewed, handwritten quote from Aristotle's Politics on upper pastedown). 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.
