  • Notes: Second edition of Naudé's guide to Machiavellian statecraft, which first appeared in a small edition in 1639 in Rome. "By the term coup d'estat, or 'reason of state' as it is more commonly known, Naudé meant the 'superior' right invoked by baroque statesmen in order to justify acts that violate the ordinary principles of law and justice"--Clarke, Gabriel Naudé, page 54.
