Machiavelli lived from 1469 to 1527 and he saw what we may regard as the culmination of the Italian Renaissance. 'The Statecraft of Machiavelli' is divided into four parts, each focusing on a particular aspect of Machiavelli's writings. All four are directly appurtenant to how his policies, concepts, maxims which comprise them are actually viable in the real world of politics. Fuschia cloth boards, silver title to spine. 167 pages. Top & tail of spine worn and frayed, title to spine has all but rubbed off. Spine is browned. Boards lightly marked. Slight lean to spine. Text block and endpapers lightly browned. Inscription in ink to front endpaper. Some page browning and a few scattered foxspots. Some annotation in the form of pencil marks to margins. Overall, a good working copy.
