This book presents a translation and commentary of chapters III-XI of Erasmus' famous work 'Institutio Principis Christiani' (The Education of a Christian Prince). These chapters deal with such topics as the choice of counselors, the education of the prince, the art of ruling, and the virtues necessary for a prince. Corbett's commentary sheds light on Erasmus' ideas and the historical context in which they were written. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of Renaissance humanism and political thought.
