The Prince - Machiavelli, Niccolò · 77 words
In 1520 the Florentine merchants again had recourse to Machiavelli to settle their difficulties with Lucca, but this year was chiefly remarkable for his re entry into Florentine literary society, where he was much sought after, and also for the production of his Art of War. It was in the same year that he received a commission at the instance of Cardinal de Medici to write the History of Florence, a task which occupied him until 1525.
