This important mirror for princes was written by Guillaume Budé 1467–1540 the greatest French humanist or the “marvel of France” as to how Erasmus named him. Budé was a scholar diplomat royal librarian and the king’s secretary who is credited to bring about a revival of classic studies in France. He is also known for his treatise on ancient coins and measures De Asse et Partibus Eius 1514 for his role in the founding of the Collège de France by Francis I and the library at the Fontainebleau Palace which formed the nucleus of today’s French national library. Budé composed and presented a collection of apothegms to Francis I in 1522 some sources dates it earlier and the text became widely disseminated although the author did not wish for it to be published Bénévent-Walsby. Eventually three variants of the text were printed some years after Budé’s death and by the present one it gained its title De l’institution du prince. The book became very popular immediately among the nobility and copies of this the Larrivour-edition made their way into the libraries of the highest authorities throughout Europe among them kings e.g. Louis XIII of France Edward VI of England dukes and princes Gaston Duke of Orléans and the elite of the Catholic Church Cardinal Mazarin. Until the latest scholarly researches it was thought that De l'institution du Prince was published in 1547 in three editions each used different manuscript versions and they were printed in different locations in Paris Lyon and Larrivour. In their recent thorough study Bénévent and Walsby proved that only the Paris-edition was printed in 1547 and published with 1547 and 1548 imprints the Lyon-edition was printed already in 1544 but published only in 1547 and the present Larrivour-edition by Nicole Paris was printed in 1546. Our copy with the date of 1547 on the title page is a reissue of the 1546 print with an altered bizarrely structured first gathering two copies exist with 1546 imprint they are held in Leiden and Turin. Bénévent and Walsby assume that the irregularities of this gathering were caused due to the removal of a laudatory text praising Budé a text written by his friend the persecuted – and later executed – humanist scholar and printer Étienne Dolet. The study suggests the Dolet was the editor of the Lyon-edition and might have been involved in the Larrivour-edition too thus the date of his death in 1546 could explain the delay of the publication of both editions.
