Comte J. B. Comazzi - Morale des Princes - 1754

Rare edition of this moral and political treatise by Count J. B. Comazzi dedicated to education and the conduct of princes, in the tradition of mirrors of princes inherited from Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

The work presents, in a didactic and exemplary manner, the virtues necessary for a ruler: justice, prudence, temperance, piety, and magnanimity, emphasizing the prince's responsibility towards his subjects and the balance between authority and benevolence.

Comazzi develops a reflection enriched with classical and Christian references, seeking to reconcile the humanist heritage and Catholic morality, while adapting his discourse to the political issues of the 18th century.
