The Unnamed Machiavellian Prince: A Hypothesis

Abstract

For some time, in my studies on Machiavelli, I have been working on the innovative meanings in his vocabulary. I have focused on two registers, the rhetorical and the religious, showing how Machiavelli, with unparalleled mastery, managed to convey the concepts of his revolutionary political theory. It is, indeed, no exaggeration to call his theory revolutionary.
