Niccolo Machiavelli was not one, but three men: a political

theorist, a military theorist, and a famous writer.

Niccolo Machiavelli was born in Florence in 1469. The

Machiavelli family was one of the most prominent politically in the

city, having 15 Gonfaloniere among his ancestors.1 Niccolo's

father, Bernardo Machiavelli was a legal consultant in the city,

prominent participant in humanist scholarship of the day, and close

associate of the city's First Chancellor. Niccolo received the very

top quality humanist education available.

We first hear of him playing an active role in the affairs of his

native city in 1498, when the position for head of second chancery,

came open. He was only twenty-nine years old at the time, and

didn't have any previous experience. However, his nomination was

confirmed and he was appointed second chancellor of the

Florentine Republic.2 Machiavelli's official position involved him in

very important duties. The first and second chanceries both

handled official correspondence dealing with Florence's domestic,

foreign, and military affairs. As head of the second chancier,

Machiavelli was also soon assigned the further job

subject, and to impassive that he was a man worth employing.7

turning point of his life. Machiavelli, throughout his whole life was

or Anti-Machiavel between 1739 and 174016. Frederick of Prussia
