Excerpt from The Harvard Classics
Niccolo machiavelli, one of the most brilliant and versatile intellects of the Italian Renaissance, was born at Florence, May 3, 1469. He entered the public service as a young man, and be tween 1500 and 1512 he was employed in a number of diplomatic missions to the other Italian cities, to France, and to Germany. When the Medici returned to power in Florence in M achia velli lost his positions, and suffered imprisonment and torture. On his release in the following year, he retired to the country and devoted himself to study and the composition of his most famous work, The Prince. Other writings followed; and in the last year of his life we find him again in active life, this time as a soldier. He died June 21, 1527.
