Catalogue Note
Plus connu pour ses œuvres architecturales qui l'avaient fait surnommer le Vitruve florentin, Alberti partit pour Rome en 1443. De Principe (paru la même année sous le titre de Momus, dieu grec de la moquerie, à Rome chez Mazzocchi) est une fable politique, caractérisée par Grayson comme une « mordante satire lucianesque du Prince, et en général, de la vanité et des faiblesses de tous les hommes ».
