F. The History of the Period.
Machiavelli himself is naturally the most important authority,
especially his Legations. A few errors have been pointed out
in his History of Florence, but they are not likely to mislead the
student, and are not of material importance. Guieeiardini comes
next in importance : his Opere Inedite (IO vols., edited and commented
by Canestrini, Firenze, 1857-1867) are indispensable
to the reader of Machiavelli1. Next we have the ordinary
Florentine historians, who deal with the period of Machiavelli's
life. They are as follows :--
Guicciardinilb. 1483, d. 154o]: Istoria d' Italia. 4 vols.
Milan, 1884 . [From 149o to 1532.1
Nardi lb. 1476, d. ? 15631: Istorie della citth di Firenze.
2 vols. Florence, 1888. [General introduction, and from
1494 to 1552].
1 The first volume, containing the _Considerazioni intorno al Discorsi del
Machiavelli,' is the most necessary.
