This is a new student edition of Erasmus' crucial treatise on political theory and also contains a new, excerpted translation from his Panegyric. The Education of a Christian Prince is one of the most important "advice-to-princes" texts published in the Renaissance and was dedicated to Charles V. It is a strongly pacifist work in which Erasmus sought to ensure that the prince governed justly and benevolently. This edition also includes an original introduction, a chronology of the life and work of Erasmus, and a comprehensive guide to further reading.

Intresting protrayal of Humanists Ideas,
By A Customer
This review is from: Erasmus: The Education of a Christian Prince with the Panegyric for Archduke Philip of Austria (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought) (Paperback)
The Education of A Christian prince is qutie intresesting and really gives you a sense of how the Renaissance was and kinda what people were thinking know that they didn't follow the church so strictly and that the were free to write their ideas and with the help of the printing press were able to spread the ideas like wildfire to the rest of Europe through books such as this one.
