Editorial Reviews
Review
"Here is another solid contribution to the Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought series....an indispensable text for students in early modern political thought." A. Woodiwiss, Choice
Product Description
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.
