On Kingship, to the King of Cyprus

St. Thomas Aquinas

A short mirror-of-princes addressed to King Hugh II of Cyprus — on the nature and duties of a king, the best regime, and the reward of kings. Unfinished — Aquinas wrote Books I–II.4; Ptolemy of Lucca completed the work (those continuations are not included).
