Machiavelli's Prince

The Prince in the Dutch Republic: Dutch and French translations, 1615-1705

This paper deals with the editorial fortune of the Prince in the Netherlands. In the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic machiavelli's text was feverishly translated, published and re-issued. The role of intermediaries, translators and publishers is highlighted also in the context of the presence of a community of Huguenot refugees in Amsterdam, often involved in the bookmarket.
