Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527) var av fremstående familie i bystaten Firenze, der han virket som statsmann og diplomat inntil byen falt til familien Medici og han selv ble forvist derfra. Han gikk siden i gang med sitt forfatterskap, der det mest kjente verket er Fyrsten, en håndbok i maktutøvelse tilegnet Lorenzo de' Medici (1492–1519) som ble utgitt etter Machiavellis død i Firenze, der han i mellomtiden var blitt tatt til nåde igjen. Fyrsten er i et halvt årtusen forblitt et sentralt referanseverk i statsvitenskap og politisk filosofi, og er en av verdenslitteraturens største klassikere – her i en ny norsk oversettelse av Jon Bingen.
