Lot 136 | The Works of the Famous Nicolas Machiavel
First collected edition in English of the works of Machiavelli, the Renaissance political mastermind. This edition includes his Discourses on Livy, The History of Florence, The Art of War, and of course his most famous work, The Prince. The first edition of The Prince in English had appeared in 1640, when the country was on the precipice of what historian J.A. Pocock called England's "Machiavellian moment"—the English Civil War. This collection of Machiavelli's works is a set of new translations by Henry Neville, a member of the Council of State who nevertheless ran afoul of Oliver Cromwell and ended up spending time in Italy. Upon the Restoration, he was arrested for treason and held in the Tower, but released without punishment in 1664. His translation includes a curious "Letter" purporting to be by Machiavelli to his friend Zanobius Buondelmontius and defending his writings. This letter is a literary forgery—but a playful one; the date is given as 1 April 1537, ten years after Machiavelli's death, and its content concerned with very contemporary attacks on the priesthood. Bertelli & Innocenti s.XVII, 70a; Wing M-128. See PMM
