The present work is a revision of the translation of St. Thomas Aquinas' De Regno, Ad Regem Cypri (On kingship : to the king of Cyprus), which the Reverend G.B. Phelan published in 1935 under the title On the Governance of Rulers. The Latin text which formed the basis of Dr. Phelan's translation was that of the current editions and goes back to the Roman edition of A.D. 1570. === In the early Dominican school, two political treatises were composed whose subsequent history was to constitute a curious case of confused identities. The one is St. Thomas Aquinas' De Regno, Ad Regem Cypri (On Kingship. To the king of Cyprus), the other a work De Regimine Principum (On the Governance of Rulers) attributed to Aquinas' friend and disciple, Tolomeo of Lucca, who, far advanced in age, died in A.D. 1357.… (más)
El De regno, conocido también con el título De regimine principum, es uno de los tratados menores del autor, cuyo texto genuino aún no ha sido editado críticamente. Tomás de Aquino, que lo dejó inconcluso, debió de escribirlo entre 1265 y 1267. Un hermano suyo, Aimón de Aquino, que en 1231 participó en la expedición a Tierra Santa —organizada por Federico II y dirigida por Ricardo Filangieri—, estuvo a las órdenes de Hugo I de Lusignan, rey de Chipre. Tal vez esto explique el hecho de que el tratado vaya dedicado al rey de la irla, como dicen los manuscritos. Tomás de Aquino, teólogo y no político, escribe un tratado moralizante, que no pragmático. Se trata de una obra pedagógico-moral que no pretende sino formar criterios éticos en la persona regia. Apoyándose para ello en textos bíblicos, doctrina de la Iglesia y enseñanza de los filósofos —especialmente Aristóteles, que le sirve de metodología—, Tomás de Aquino nos ofrece aquí uno de los textos clave para la comprensión de la teocracia medieval

To the King of Cyprus As I was turning over in my mind what I might present to Your Majesty as a gift at once worthy of Your Royal Highness and befitting my profession and office, it seemed to me a highly appropriate offering that, for a king, I should write a book on kingship, in which, so far as my ability permits, I should carefully expound, according to the authority of Holy Writ and the teachings of the philosophers as well as the practice of worthy princes, both the origin of kingly government and the things which pertain to the office of a king, relying for the beginning, progress and accomplishment of this work, on the help of Him, who is King of Kings, Lord of Lords, through Whom kings rule, God the Mighty Lord, King great above all gods.

It is therefore harmful to a city to superabound in delightful things, whether it be on account of its situation or from whatever other cause. However, in human intercourse it is best to have a moderate share of pleasure as a spice of life, so to speak, wherein man's mind may find some recreation.
