Machiavelli x27 s bibliography

SILVIA RUFFO -FIORE ED NICCOLÒ MACHIAVELLI AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF MODERN CRITICISM AND SCHOLARSHIP Bibliographies and Indexes in Law and Political Science Number New York Greenwood Press pp This is a magisterial work of bibliography Building on Achille Norsa's Il principio della forza nel pensiero politico di Niccolò Machiavelli Milan Silvia Ru ?o-Fiore has produced an exhaustive listing with annotation and indexes of all material relating to Machiavelli and his work published since It supersedes Franco Fido's Machiavelli Palermo by recording and annotating articles and reviews as well as books and by bringing up to date the large industry of Machiavelli scholarship developed during the last quarter century The listings themselves appear complete the result of computerassisted searches and meticulous scholarship The random entries I checked chosen from bibliographies and footnotes found in works on Machiavelli all appear and are correctly entered Moreover the detail and consistency in the annotation is truly extraordinary Indeed the two great elements of this bibliography which will ensure its use for years and which will require it only to be brought up to date on occasion rather than redone is the quality and thoroughness of the annotations and the superb system of indexes Not only are books annotated chapter by chapter but also articles and even reviews are précised Equally editions and translations of Machiavelli's works bibliographies and even new primary sources such as manuscripts are all included Assessments of the works are not made ?? this is not a critical bibliography ?? but the appending of review précis after major Cbooks serves to guide the reader to the best scholarship on Machiavelli Theses are listed but not annotated There are four indexes arranged by author title subject name and which of Machiavelli's works is studied There are cross-references and the subject name index is particularly useful because it consists not merely of names but also of key words and phrases concepts terms and subjects This index alone is worth the price of the volume Therefore this bibliography will prove invaluable to both students and scholars who wish a key to unlock the vast published work on Machiavelli produced since in every discipline The amount of labour represented in this volume is enormous and the compiler Ru ?oFiore and her contributors recorded at the end of the book deserve our appreciation There are a few typographical errors and the typeface which is produced by word- processor is not the most attractive but these are insigni ?cant aws in comparison with the great contribution to Machiavelli studies made by this bibliography KENNETH R BARTLETT University of Toronto Victoria College Toronto Ontario C
