Abstract

The article provides an edition with the relevant background and commentary of three Early Modern texts: Innocent Gentillet's ›Epistre‹ of his central work, the widely read anti-Machiavellian treatise ›Contre-Machiavel‹ of 1576; Georg Nigrinus' ›Vorrede‹ to ›Regentenkunst oder Fürstenspiegel‹, his 1580 German translation of the ›Contre-Machiavel‹; as well as Johann Fischart's ›Vorrede‹ included in Nigrinus' book. The texts are edited together due to their high relevance in research concerned with Machiavelli's contemporary reception, especially in German-speaking Europe.
