Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Galer�a de Espa�oles Ilustres, Vol. 1: Retratos y Biograf�as
Ya en el camino de la gloria, hubimos de recordar que � historiadores tan austeros como T�cito, podemos oponer historiadores tan austeros como Mariana; � pol�ticos tan h�biles como Maquiavelo, pol�ticos tan h�biles como Saavedra Fajardo y Antonio P�rez; que un Cardenal de Cisneros bien vale lo que un cardenal de Richelieu: que Carlos V no es menor que Luis XIV, ni ha superado An�bal � nuestros Gonzalo de C�rdoba, Alba y Cort�s.
