Machiavelli — The Prince

A knowledge base on Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince (Il Principe,
1513/1532) — a treatise on the amoral realism of power. Deals with the effective
truth of things: how power is taken and held, not how it ought to be.

An analytical corpus with verbatim quotes: key concepts (virtù, fortuna, lo
stato, effective truth), principles of rule (better feared than loved; seeming
matters more than being; the lion and the fox), and argument chains on seizing,
holding, and losing power. Built as a reference for precise citation and a basis
for debate.
