Trattato della politica o ragione di stato

Description

The anonymous treatise, which might date from the second half of the 17th c., fits in with the wide tradition of works dealing with the notions of politics and ragion di stato. The text opens with a sort of preamble which explicitly draws from Aristotelian definitions of politics from both the Ethics and the Politics. The last section of the treatise is a collection of short sentences on political matters.
