Why devote a Companion to the "mirrors for princes", whose very
existence is debated? These texts offer key insights into political
thoughts of the past. Their ambiguous, problematic status further
enhances their interest. And although recent research has
fundamentally challenged established views of these texts, until
now there has been no critical introduction to the genre. This
volume therefore fills this important gap, while promoting a global
historical perspective of different "mirrors for princes"
traditions from antiquity to humanism, via Byzantium, Persia,
Islam, and the medieval West. This Companion also proposes new
avenues of reflection on the anchoring of these texts in their
historical realities. Contributors are Makram Abbes, Denise Aigle,
Olivier Biaggini, Hugo Bizzarri, Charles F. Briggs, Sylvene
Edouard, Jean-Philippe Genet, John R. Lenz, Louise Marlow, Cary J.
Nederman, Corinne Peneau, Stephane Pequignot, Noelle-Laetitia
Perret, Gunter Prinzing, Volker Reinhardt, Hans-Joachim Schmidt,
Tom Stevenson, Karl Ubl, and Steven J. Williams.
