An international group of scholars examines the concept of the "good ruler" through the late Middle Ages. Bejczy, recently in the history department of the University of Nijmegen and Niederman (political science, Texas A&M) use the term "prince" (princes) as it was intended in the many discourses on proper governance, meaning any political authority, from kings and counts to popes and bishops. The essays examine lesser-known writings on the subject, that of Jean Gerson, Michal of Prague, John of Wales and Michele Savanarola. They demonstrate how the virtues necessary in a ruler vary over time and circumstance although a love of justice seems to be a constant. An interesting and timely book with resonances for the present day. Distributed in North America by the David Brown Book Co. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
