description: The De Monarchia Of Dante Alighieri is a book written by the famous Italian poet and philosopher Dante Alighieri. The book is a treatise on political theory and is considered one of the most important works of the Middle Ages. In the book, Dante argues that the Holy Roman Emperor should have supreme authority over all secular rulers, and that the authority of the Pope should be limited to spiritual matters. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part dealing with the necessity of a universal monarchy, the second part discussing the relationship between the universal monarchy and the Papacy, and the third part dealing with the relationship between the universal monarchy and the individual states. The book is written in Latin and was completed around 1313, shortly before Dante's death. It is a significant work in the history of political thought and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
