Thanks. That's a useful chapter. The first is interesting too. Mariana used a state of nature argument 50 years before Hobbes. I want the entire book though, for both those chapters and because it is an example of the "mirror for princes" literature.

If you're looking for Chapter 9, "Whether It Is Right To Destroy A Tyrant," I've found it over at Google Books. This URL should take you to it: http://tinyurl.com/yun32m

Is there anyone on this list who owns a copy and would be willing to sell it?

Or is there anyone on this list who knows where and how I might be able to buy this book?

I need the English translation but I'm interested in the original Latin version as well.

It might also be titled "On the King and the Education of the King."
