Description
Summary:Using the example of Fadrique Furio Ceriol's treatise El concejo y concejeros del principe (1559), this article proposes a comparative approach to the reception, assimilation and rejection of Machiavellian thought in the literature of political treatises in Spain and its French counterparts of the 16th and 17th centuries. Influenced by the political and religious contexts at the time of their writing, these treatises, in Spain as in France, are witnesses of the complexity of the transformation of the representation of power and political exercise in the modern era.
