De Regno; vel De Regimine Principum | |
St. Thomas Aquinas | |
The classic work written by St. Thomas Aquinas to the | |
king of Cyprus, detailing the nature of kingship and its | |
purposes. A monumental work, it contains principles | |
applicable not only to monarchical government, but to all | |
governments and to political society in general. Extends | |
not only from the nature of government, especially kingly | |
government, and its exercise, but even to concerns such as | |
where and how to found a city; the nature of law; and so | |
forth. Excellent for students of government as well as | |
students of the medieval Latin in which it was written; also | |
excellent for political philosophy. Well worth | |
the effort of reading; reproduced here in the original | |
language, Latin. 134 pp., Latin. | |
