The De Monarchia Of Dante Alighieri (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163201169)

The De Monarchia Of Dante Alighieri is a political treatise written by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri in the early 14th century. The book is divided into three parts and argues for the necessity of a universal monarchy to establish peace and order in the world. Dante explores the relationship between temporal and spiritual power, arguing that the former should be subordinate to the latter. He also defends the authority of the Roman Empire over other kingdoms and states, claiming that it is the only legitimate source of universal sovereignty. The book is written in Latin and reflects Dante's deep knowledge of classical literature and philosophy. It is considered one of his most important works, and its ideas have influenced political thinkers and philosophers for centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
