This is a new student edition of Erasmus' crucial treatise on political theory and also contains a new, excerpted
translation from his Panegyric. The Education of a Christian Prince is one of the most important \'advice-to-princes\'
texts published in the Renaissance and was dedicated to Charles V. It is a strongly pacifist work in which Erasmus
sought to ensure that the prince governed justly and benevolently. This edition also includes an original introduction,
a chronology of the life and work of Erasmus, and a comprehensive guide to further reading.
