Description
Francesco Guicciardini's Maxims and Reflections offer a unique insight into the thoughts and sentiments of one of Italy's most influential historians. Written in 1972, these reflections provide a rare glimpse into the private life of a man who is often associated with his political writings.
Like Machiavelli's Prince, Guicciardini's Ricordi are an important document of their time, but they differ in scope and focus. Rather than solely addressing public affairs, these maxims delve into personal relationships, family, and the human experience.
Published by the University of Pennsylvania Press, this paperback edition features 150 pages of Guicciardini's collected thoughts on history, philosophy, and politics. A valuable resource for anyone interested in Renaissance thought and the life of a prominent historical figure.
