Welcome Capn' Arr :goof:

[subterranean]

Machiavelli was a follower of Tsun Zu?...

[Stanislaw]

I don't believe so. :confused:

[subterranean]

I was referring to the title...and believed that Tsun Zu came first before Maciavelli

[Stanislaw]

Ahh, yes, Tsun Zu (sp.) did come before Niccolo, but I think the two are unrelated.

[subterranean]

Maybe he got inspired in a way? ;)
Nevermind

Ha, we have "The LOST Art of War" on our shelves...never opened it, as with many of our books, but this one is by... ah! Sun Tzu. :D (Different spelling, or different author?)

[Stanislaw]

There have been many interpretations of his name (some even claiming that he was not a real person but a name underwhich the works were collected) I guess it be a bit like shakespeare, always some controversy! :D

The art of war by Niccolo Machiavelli.


Soooo.......what? Machiavelii re-wrote 'The Art of War', a colection of ancient strategies older than most european societies? Or are you talking about a completely different book who's title is purposely copied by Machiavelli (for literary reasons I suppose) FROM these ancient manuscripts??

.....I remain........confused.

(Statesman) Machiavelli....1469-1527 A.D.

(Manuscript)'The Art of War'...... pre-500 B.C.
