Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed treatise on political theory from the 16th century, translated from Italian and based on the Spanish original by Pedro Mexia. Initially authored by Pedro de la Cerda in 1527, this text was highly influential in European courtly and political circles. It follows the development of political thought, and models of counsel and advice-giving, in the Tudor period, in relation to Machiavelli and other continental writers. The author explores the role of humoral theory in the development of political counsel, which would later influence the work of Juan Huarte de San Juan. This book is an ideal resource for scholars of early modern European politics and intellectual history.
