Overall, The Life of Cesare Borgia is a fascinating exploration of one of the most intriguing figures of the Renaissance period.And in that you have most probably the origin of the famous secret poison of the Borgias. Having been invented to fit the alleged poisoning of Prince Djem, which it was desired to fasten upon the Pope by hook or by crook, it was found altogether too valuable an invention not to be used again. By means of it, it became possible to lay almost any death in the world at the door of Alexander.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
