[edit] King of France

Can someone provide a source that proves that the King of France distributed copies of the book to his courtiers? Kingmundi 05:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Italics

I'm going to remove the italics from the "the" towards the end of the article on the grounds of unencyclopaedic tone. Leon... 00:09, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] name spelling

In my edition (Norton Critical edition) of The Book of the Courtier Baldesare is spelled with only one 's' and no 'e' at the end, which changes the way one searches this author.{unsigned}

[edit] Typo

It is not apparent to me how to edit the caption for the associated image. The word "courtier" is spelled "couriter."{unsigned}

[edit] Date it started to be written

According to the july 14-15th Wall Street Journal Personal Journal on page P12 the Courtier began being written in 1507. (66.108.62.137 13:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC))
