This volume provides the first survey of the unexplored connections
between Machiavelli's work and the Islamic world, running from the
Arabic roots of The Prince to its first translations into Ottoman
Turkish and Arabic. It investigates comparative descriptions of
non-European peoples, Renaissance representations of Muhammad and
the Ottoman military discipline, a Jesuit treatise in Persian for a
Mughal emperor, peculiar readers from Brazil to India, and the
parallel lives of Machiavelli and the bureaucrat Celalzade Mustafa.
Ten distinguished scholars analyse the backgrounds, circulation and
reception of Machiavelli's writings, focusing on many aspects of
the mutual exchange of political theories and grammars between East
and West. A significant contribution to attempts by current
scholarship to challenge any rigid separation within Eurasia, this
volume restores a sense of the global spreading of books, ideas and
men in the past.
