PROVINCIAL AND PUNDIT : JUAN DE CASTROJERIZ'S VERSION OF DEREG1MINE PR1NCIPUM

Abstract

Overshadowed by the towering figure of St. Thomas Aquinas, Egidius Romanus is today an almost forgotten figure. Yet his De Regimine Principum, written about the year 1285, survives in nearly two hundred manuscripts in practically every European language together with Hebrew.
