Mandragola is a rarity: a literary work written by a thinker who wrote political treatises of the greatest importance. This translation attempts to be as literal as is consistent with English usage. When possible, the same Italian word is rendered by the same English one. Special attention has been paid to words and phrases which are significant in other writings of Machiavelli-such as animo, bene, case del mondo, prudenzia, remedio, and virtu. In the poems, rhyme and meter have given way to meaning, although the stanzas, lines, and (where possible) word order of the Italian are reproduced.

This is Volume 12 in the Anchor Bible series of book by book translations of the Bible. The publisher's blurb declares ''The Anchor Bible marks the beginning of a new era of cooperation among scholars in biblical research; each volume is the work of an outstanding Protestant, Catholic or Jewish authority on the Bible, and the entire project is under the general editorship of William Foxwell Albright, Professor Emeritus of Semitic Languages at Johns Hopkins University, and David Noel Freedman, Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Literature at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. The aim is to make the Old and New Testaments accessible to the modern reader; its methods are to arrive at the meaning of the Bible through exact translation and extended exposition, and to reconstruct, as much as possible, the ancient settings of the biblical story.''
