Reviewer comment - This edition contains 227
of Machiavelli's letters, obviously a small part of his vast volume of
correspondence, but many were destroyed before his grand son was able to begin
collecting them

The Letters

|
The letters are numbered in acodance with Alvisi's edition of 1883 -
that collection contains letters to Machiavelli, which is why this list has
many gaps in the numbers
