De Regno: On Kingship Paperback – December 18, 2014

it is what my friend ordered

Is this the whole thing? It seems to end rather abruptly. A a a a a a a a a

The content of the book is amazing, and for 5 dollars you're getting a steal to have it in Latin and English. The columns are oddly small and the publisher did not use all the space they could which makes the print tiny. Overall a great deal.

It is amazing, and wonderful to read it in both Latin and English, so if you want to read St. Thomas' words in the Latin, you can with this book. I recommend all students of St. Thomas Aquinas to buy it.

Such a good little book, written so clearly! A joy to read!

Great Book

This book is horribly translated. It is trash. Some Scripture references are misattributed to the wrong scripture. On page 10, it says "Solomon says [Eccl. 4:9], "Where there is no governor, the people shall fall." Reading the Latin side, it does not attribute that to Ecclesiastes. It is actually from Proverbs 11:14. Eccl. 4:9 should actually be with the quote on the previous page where Solomon says, "It is better that there be two than one; for they have the advantage of their company."Then, on page 36, it says, "Wherefore Daniel, commending the providence of God with respect to the institution of a king says [1 Samuel 13:14]: "The Lord sought a man..." Daniel did not state that. Samuel is the author of 1 Samuel and was not alive during the events of this, thus it is a misattribution. Looking at the Latin column, we see that the Latin did not attribute the quote to Daniel. It states "Unde Samuel, Dei providentiam erga institutionem regis..."Thus this is not necessarily a review of the seller as it is the publisher, unless they are connected, but this is a reflection of the shoddiness of the book itself. Find a different translation.

Has typos. The English translation is provided side-by-side with the Latin... In two separate columns on the same page.Using columns is both an eyesore and a waste of paper (a lot of blank space). Do yourself a favor and get another version.
