Paperback. Condition: New. Global Medieval: Mirrors for Princes Reconsidered begins with a question: Is a genuine history of political thought in the premodern period possible? The volume brings together mirrors for princes from a variety of historical contexts and lineages of political thought, each with its own international cast of characters and varied modes of advice, sanctified by claims of distant and often alien origins.

Ehe der Kommentar zur Textsorte wird, ist Kommentieren eine Praxis, der erstaunlicherweise bislang selten eigenständige Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt worden ist. Der Band nimmt sich dieser Forschungslücke an. 216 pp. Deutsch.…
