Trade Paperback. Condizione: Good. Firrst Edition Assumed. 57 Pages Stapled binding with green covers. There are seven lines of penciled notes on the front endpaper. Pages 12 thru 15 the character named Callimaco is high-lighted with green marker pen. No other marks. Mandragola is a rarity: a literary work written by a thinker who wrote political treatises of the greatest importance. This translation attempts to be as literal as is consistent with English usage. When possible, the same Italian word is rendered by the same English one. Special attention has been paid to words and phrases which are significant in other writings of Machiavelli-such as animo, bene, case del mondo, prudenzia, remedio, and virtu. In the poems, rhyme and meter have given way to meaning, although the stanzas, lines, and (where possible) word order of the Italian are reproduced. Idioms are translated as closely as possible in the text, and are explained in the notes. Passages in Latin are reproduced in the text and translated in the notes. The volume contains a brief Introduction and a Note on Names of Characters.
