[Published] French Translation of Erasmus's Institutio principis Christiani

La Formation du prince chrétien / Institutio principis christiani


Publication of a French translation of Erasmus's Institutio principis Christiani (Lovanii, 1516) celebrate the quincentenary of the original Latin work.

• Erasme, La formation du prince chrétien, Paris: Classiques Garnier, 2015

Translated by Mario Turchetti, Emeritus Professor at University of Fribourg, the Formation du prince chrétien allows us to penetrate into the humanist's political thought.


* Another French translation of the work is expected to be published in April 2016 (Education du prince chrétien, Paris: Les Belles Lettres).
** It may be interesting to compare the Dutch humanist's thought with a contemporary French humanist's treatise on the same topic: Guillaume Budé, De l'institution du prince (1547).
