A Critical Companion to the 'Mirrors for Princes' Literature / edited by Noëlle-Laetitia Perret and Stéphane Péquignot. First edition. Leiden : Brill, [2023] ©2023 1 online resource. text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource rdacarrier Reading Medieval Sources Series ; Volume 7 Description based on print version record. The literary genre collectively known as “mirrors of princes” offers key insights into political thoughts of the past. This volume explores the genre in a global and comparative historical perspective, from antiquity to early modernity and in the Byzantine, Islamic, and Latin Christian worlds. Why devote a Companion to the "mirrors of 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 of 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 Abbès, Denise Aigle, Olivier Biaggini, Hugo Bizzarri, Charles F. Briggs, Sylvène Edouard, Jean-Philippe Genet, John R. Lenz, Louise Marlow, Cary J. Nederman, Corinne Peneau, Stéphane Péquignot, Noëlle-Laetitia Perret, Günter Prinzing, Volker Reinhardt, Hans-Joachim Schmidt, Tom Stevenson, Karl Ubl, and Steven J. Williams.
