Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Medieval English literature, specifically examining philosophical and political poems from the mid-1400s. The author, George Ashby, served as a clerk of the signet to Henry VI and later to Margaret of Anjou. The work is divided into three sections, outlining Ashby's advice to future rulers on topics like the importance of remembering and learning from the past and the virtues of patience and wise counsel. The author also includes several examples of classical and biblical philosophers and their ideas, highlighting the deep Christian and classical roots of medieval political and social thought. Beyond the historical interest, this book is a fascinating look at the complexities of medieval life and the qualities that were seen as important in a just and effective ruler. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
