This treatise, "On the Education of Princes," was prepared in Latin about the year 1285, by the preceptor of the boy prince Philip the Fair (afterward Philip IV. of France), and on the accession of the youthful king was by him ordered translated into French for the benefit of the general public. Numerous editions in the original Latin were published in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, but the French version has never before appeared in print. The work covers a wide range of topics, educational and social, discussed in the spirit of enlightened mediæval scholarship. It is believed that, in its present accessible form, it will be found to constitute an interesting chapter in the history of educational ideas.

BOSTON TRANSCRIPT.

"To professional scholars and to those interested in the study of political science in the Middle Ages it will have unusual interest."

SAN FRANCISCO ARGONAUT.

"The work will appeal not only to the limited number of professional scholars for whom the edition is primarily intended, but beyond that to the wider circle of those interested in the study of the Middle Ages and in the evolution of pedagogy and of political economy."

ANNALS OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY.

"The edition of Colonna's 'De Regimine Principium,' of which Dr. Molenaer has given us an excellent thirteenth-century French version, will interest students of widely differing tastes."
