Summary
For further details see M. Lossen, ‘Ueber die vindiciae contra tyrannos des angeblichen Stephanus Junius Brutus’, Sitzungsberichte der königlichen Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaft, phil. hist. Klasse, 1 (1887), pp. 247–54; A. Gerber, Niccolò Machiavelli. Die Handschriften, Ausgaben und Ubersetzungen seiner Werke im 16 und 17 Jahrhundert. Eine kritisch-bibliographische Untersuchung, 3 vols. (Gotha, 1912–13), III, pp. 60–75; Beza, De Iure, pp. 11 n. 12, 21–3. Where the Vindiciae and De Iure Magistratuum constitute a separately paginated supplement to Il principe, I have found several examples of their being bound independently of the Machiavellian material (1595, 1600, 1608). Presumably one of the aims of these editions was to provide a pretext for disseminating the monarchomach treatises.
LATIN
1580: Nicolai Machiavelli Princeps. Ex Sylvestri Telii Fulginatis Traductione diligenter emendata. Adiecta sunt eiusdem argumenti, Aliorum quorundam contra Machiavellum scripta depotestate & officio Principum, & contra tyrannos. Basileae Ex officina Petri Pernae: M.D.XXC. [The Vindiciae and the De Iure Magistratuum form a separately paginated supplement. The title page of the former reads: Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos: sive, de Principis in Populum, Populique in Principem, legitima potestate, Stephano Iunio Bruto Celta, Auctore, M.D.LXXX. Another version of Il principe incorporates some different prefatory matter, and does not identify the publisher on the title page, but the same printing of the Vindiciae and De Iure Magistratuum is appended to it.]
