"Professor Chabod's essay on Machiavelli's Prince has long been a bibliographical rarity. Here in Oxford, the only way to get acquainted with it is to read it in Bodley, in the 1925 volume of the Nova Rivista Storica where it was first published. This however has never prevented tutors from impressing on generation after generation of undergraduates reading the Italian Renaissance that Chabod's essay is indispensable. Such a state of affairs would in itself provide sufficient ground for justifying an English translation" - from the Introduction. Book about Federico Chabod & Niccolo Machiavelli.
