            <text>&lt;1r-2v&gt; Al Serenissimo Cosmo Medici Gran Prencipe di Toscana Signore Colendissimo. &lt;inc&gt; All'usanza dei vecchi, pigro e tardo, vengo a pagare il debito dela promessa fatta a V.A. già due mesi sono, e mi consolo col proverbio, meglio è tardi, che mai. &lt;expl&gt; così aggradirà questo bene discorso in confirmatione del dono alhora fattoli di me stesso. E con tal fine senza fine inchinandomi prima a Madama Serenissima poi a V.A. a la lor buona gratia mi raccomando. Di V.A. Serenissima Humilissimo e devotissimo servitore e vassallo Francesco Piccolomini già filosofo, hora spoglia del tempo e di natura. 

&lt;3r-38v&gt; &lt;Institutione&gt; Che cosa sia Institutione. &lt;inc&gt; Si mostra male instituito chiunque ragionando dell'Institutione non dichiara prima che cosa ella sia, di quante sorti sia, da quai principii penda, et a chi convenga. &lt;expl&gt; Il servire a principe regio è regnare: regna adunque il populo toscano, mentre con fede serve al suo regio Principe, al quale con molta humiltà m'inchino. Il fine. 

&lt;39r-196v&gt; &lt;Compendio&gt; Del compendio de la scientia civile. Cap. 1. Origine, definitione et soggetto de la scientia civile. &lt;inc&gt; La prima maraviglia, che nasce negli animi di coloro che contemplano la conditione humana con ragione si può giudicare quella, com'esser possi che l'anima nostra creata da Dio pura e candida nella patria del cielo tranquilla e serena, ardisca con periglioso peregrinaggio scender di cielo in terra &lt;expl&gt; ov'è conosciuto per generosa prole del creatore, e come tale è dichiarato cittadino del cielo, e costituito herede de beni del supremo padre. E questo è il fine felice del suo peregrinaggio. Piaccia alla divina bontà che di noi così sia. Il fine.
