Posthumous Publication of The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli

The printed version of The Prince was published in 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death.

Although a version was being written in 1513, the printed edition did not appear until 1532. This posthumous release marked the official publication of the treatise, which had previously circulated in manuscript form under the Latin title De Principatibus.
