F. J. (Frederick John) Church translation
Transcriber's Note: Spelling and punctuation have been retained as they appear in the original, but obvious printer errors have been corrected without note. Printer errors in Italian passages from The Divine Comedy have been corrected using the Italian-English Princeton University Press edition (trans. Charles S. Singleton, 1973).
Some page numbers have been skipped due to blank pages and repetitive half-titles in the original. Separately numbered pages in the publisher's catalogue at the end are prefixed with "A."
This e-book contains a number of words and phrases in ancient Greek, which may not display properly in all browsers, depending on the fonts the user has installed. Hover the mouse over the Greek text to see a transliteration, e.g., βιβλος.
A Table of Contents has been added for the reader's convenience. The original contains a separate Contents of De Monarchia at page 305.
